#305 Human trafficking in dental practice 🗓
With Dr Hedwin Kadrianto
Studies suggest that up to 87% of human trafficking victims interact with a healthcare professional—including dentists—while they are being actively trafficked. As a dentist, you may encounter these patients in your practice presenting with dental pain, oral trauma, sexually transmitted infections, or other oral health concerns.
This webinar will equip you to identify and respond to potential trafficking victims, recognise trauma triggers in the dental setting, and implement a trauma-informed approach to dental care.
