While it is important to communicate with the parent and monitor the child who has been bitten for potential infection or injury, it is not necessary to disclose the identity of the biter. Additionally, antibiotics are not always needed for a bite, and immediately removing the biter from the center may not be the best course of action depending on the circumstances. However, teething is a common reason for young children to bite and this possibility should be considered.
