Transgender and gender nonconforming youth are rapidly gaining visibility and acceptance. Nevertheless, this group still experiences a variety of health disparities and is often at high risk for negative health outcomes. To improve cultural competence and provide the best possible care to this vulnerable population, health care professionals, including dentists, need to have a broader understanding of their issues. The purposes of this paper are to (1) summarize the prevalence, etiology, treatment, and common health risks associated with a transgender or gender nonconforming identity; and (2) discuss strategies to create a safe and welcoming environment for this population in the dental practice. (J Dent Child 2019;86(3):173-9).
跨性别和性别不一致的青少年正迅速获得关注和接纳。然而，这一群体仍面临各种健康差异，且往往有产生负面健康结果的高风险。为提高文化能力并为这一弱势群体提供尽可能最佳的护理，包括牙医在内的医疗保健专业人员需要对他们的问题有更广泛的了解。本文的目的是：（1）总结与跨性别或性别不一致身份相关的患病率、病因、治疗及常见健康风险；（2）讨论在牙科诊所为这一群体营造安全且友好环境的策略。（《儿童牙科杂志》2019年；86(3):173 - 179）
