#192 January is National Sex Trafficking Prevention Month - The Divas Discuss What Dental Professionals Need to Know

The Compliance Divas Podcast

Are you aware that dental professionals may be the first to identify victims of sex trafficking? Victims may come into the dental office as a patient due to oral injuries. A sex trafficker may also bring the individual in for cosmetic care to make them more desirable and marketable to their clientele. The Divas will discuss what dental professionals should look for and what dental professionals required to report if sex trafficking is suspected.
