Introduction
My name is Dr. Wahaj Anees from Peshawar, Pakistan a dental graduate of 2016. I have completed my Masters in Forensic Odontology from the University of Dundee, UK in 2021.

This website was created in order to aid future dentists in training related to reporting and identification of head and neck injuries commonly seen in cases of child abuse. According to research, more than half of the child abuse cases have head and neck injuries, which is the region of a human body dentists are concerned with.
