Pharmacological treatment of oral infections in pediatric dentistry - Recommendations and dose calculation

Pharmacology

When the pediatric patient presents an oral infection, antibiotics should be administered with the objective of controlling the infection and avoiding serious consequences at a systematic level. The correct management of antibiotics is a challenge for many pediatric dentists.

In comparison, the metabolism of a drug in a child is different from that of an adult, so the administration of an antibiotic should be taking into account the diagnosis, age and weight of the pediatric patient.
