In 1979, Sweden introduced an amendment in The Parental Code Act which prohibits parents from using physical punishment against a child. All Swedish professionals who have reason to suspect child abuse and neglect are legally obligated to report to child protective services (CPS). The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) entered into force in Sweden in 1990 and became statutory in January 2020. Article 24 of the UNCRC states that children have the right to the best possible health, access to health care and rehabilitation. Promotion of good health is enshrined in the Swedish Health Care Act and Dental Care Act, respectively. 1,2
