Children are in a state of delicate physiologic equilibrium and, unlike adults,
are more susceptible to medications and their adverse effects. Medicines used for
children should be carefully selected, and the minimum dose required should be
administered. Possible adverse reaction in multidrug therapy is also essential. The
pediatric dentist must also consider any other drug the child may be taking while
prescribing drugs and understanding children’s presenting signs and symptoms.
