LGBTQIA+ population (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and or questioning, intersex, asexual and/or allied) still suffers prejudice and stigma, they face significantly more barriers in accessing health services, thus increasing the morbidities within this group. The objective of this study was to bring a literature review focusing on: the health and dental services access to LGBTQIA+ population and shed a light on which educational efforts are being implemented during the Dentistry graduation in order to minimize the LGBTQIA+ stigma. A literature review was performed focusing on papers published between 1995 and 2020, in PubMed, SciELO and Google Scholar. Nineteen studies were elicitable. They reported mainly experiences of LGBTQIA+ population's access to dental health services, the experiences of undergraduate students in the attendance of this population; the activities focusing on diminishing the LGBTQIA+ stigma in the graduation environment and the universities support for students who identify themselves as LGBTQIA+. Only two studies were conducted in Brazilian institutions. There is evidence collected from foreign studies that LGBTQIA+ population has less access to health services and there is a lack of formal training on the treatment of this community to undergraduate students.
