Children’s rights represent a pattern of regulation of children’s relations with each and every individual and institution they get in touch with, such as their families and state institutions. The protection of children is provided for under special legal documents. The most common and the most widespread form of child abuse is negligence in terms of inadequate satisfaction of some of the child’s primary needs. Early recognition of child abuse is not only one of the priorities, but also a moral and legal obligation of any given healthcare professional dealing with the paediatric population. Applicable laws and regulations enacted by our Homeland stipulate the reporting of any suspicion on child abuse or negligence as mandatory. Should a suspicious case of child abuse, brought to an expert’s attention, be neglected to be duly reported to competent authorities, the expert can be prosecuted and sanctioned by the expert community. This Graduate Thesis discusses certain parts of particular laws, regulations and treaties that should govern everyday practice. Due knowledge of each and every member of a Dental Medicine team on the symptoms of various child abuse and negligence forms poses as the prerequisite for providing aid to such a child within the frame of the Dental Medicine practice. Our expert knowledge and initiative may aid in protecting children from abuse and negligence, as well as in providing due support, understanding and compassion.
