Abstract
A survey found high levels of vulnerability in a Los Angeles young adult dental population presenting for third molar extraction. A high proportion of them suffered abusive incidents as children, lived in nonnutritive households, were exposed to violence and were fiscally disadvantaged. The young adults had high prevalence of cigarette, alcohol and street-drug use as well as behavioral health issues, depression, nervousness and anxiety. Dentists should be aware of such vulnerabilities and their long-term consequences.
