One of every five of the almost one million annual immigrants to the United States is less than fifteen years of age. Many of today's immigrants are from areas of the world with language, customs and cultures that are far different from those persons who immigrated in past decades or were reared in this country. Providing dental care to these new youngsters with particularly diverse backgrounds is another challenge that faces pediatric dentists.
在美国,每年近100万移民中,每5人就有1人年龄不到15岁。如今的许多移民来自世界上一些地区,这些地区的语言、习俗和文化与过去几十年移民到美国或在美国长大的人截然不同。为这些背景特别多样的新移民儿童提供牙科护理是儿科牙医面临的另一项挑战。
