The rapidly evolving demographic base of our communities intensifies the need for an awareness which in the past seemed beyond the traditional concerns of pediatric dentists; in this case, substance abuse by teenagers. A review was carried out regarding evolving demographics, the proportion of teenagers involved with substance abuse, the rationale for the use of varying elicit substances and the associated symptoms. A series of options for action are considered given the potential for pediatric dentists to be involved in the care of teenagers using elicit substances.
我们社区快速变化的人口结构凸显了一种意识的必要性，而这种意识在过去似乎超出了儿童牙医的传统关注范围；在这种情况下，即青少年药物滥用问题。我们对不断变化的人口结构、涉及药物滥用的青少年比例、使用各种违禁药物的理由以及相关症状进行了综述。鉴于儿童牙医有可能参与到对使用违禁药物的青少年的护理中，我们考虑了一系列行动方案。
