ERWIN'S LAW
for Protection of Sexual Abuse
Erwin's fight to make a law that protects children and be taught in public schools.
MOST UNNOTICED EFFECTS
INCURRED
BY SEXUAL ABUSE

These are some issues that stem from different forms of sexual abuse that might go unnoticed by survivors of sexual abuse
and MOST ALWAYS by both Mental Health counselors
and all Medical field staff (incl. Doctors/Nurses).
Here is a short list of a few. More will be added in time:
ORAL ABUSE -
Dental Care; Brushing Teeth
Dental Visits/procedures
Claustrophobia
Depending on the age of the initial abuse, often there is
issues with one brushing or caring for their teeth and issues during dental procedures due to the trauma and the brutal force
of this occurrence.
When attending dental procedures for basic cleanings or other procedures, I recommend letting your dentist know of this matter to help ease the experience. It has helped me greatly.
One main issue is gagging whenever an instrument
goes near the back of the throat.
As well, due to the trauma and the brutal force
caused by this form of sexual abuse, both the teeth formation and gums issues can also occur as time moves on.
Another issue caused by this form of sexual abuse
is feeling suffocated, as in claustrophobia.
