Prevent Abuse and Neglect
through Dental Awareness
|
|
|
In 1998-99 the New Mexico P.A.N.D.A. Coalition was initiated to institute a program designed
to raise awareness about the ever-increasing number of abuse and neglect cases in our community.
Since it's inception over 3000 dental professionals have been educated on abuse & neglect recognition
and appropriate intervention.
You have a chance to help spread the news about P.A.N.D.A. and to help prevent abuse
and neglect. Please take a moment to see how you can become involved in a P.A.N.D.A. coalition in New Mexico.
Help dental professionals make a difference in a child's life.
