Adolescence, Oral Health, Substance useAbstract
Adolescence is characterized as a period of development in which biological, physiological and psychological changes occur that often increase the appearance of risk behaviors, such as substance use. Some factors have been identified that could predispose to the development of this problem: vulnerability, autonomy issues, social pressure, traumatic events, emotional and psychiatric disorders, among others. Oral health professionals can help prevent and detect suspected cases of substance use when changes in the appearance of adolescent patients are observed. The aim of this article is to inform about the negative impact of illicit substance use on the oral health of adolescents and the recognition of warning signs. In addition, a sequence of dental care is proposed for this population at risk.
