Overview

Despite childhood being now comprehended as an amalgam of independent personality and universally protected rights, neglect towards child rights is pervasive across nationalities with medical neglect, including dental neglect, being a critical manifestation. Dental neglect is understood as the willful failure of the parent or guardian to seek and follow through with treatment necessary to ensure a level of oral heath essential for adequate function and freedom from pain and infection.
