Dental management of children with asthma.
Asthma affects about 1 in 10 children. The condition is characterized by acute respiratory distress brought on by environmental factors. The condition is treated with medications aimed to reduce reaction to stimulants by the airway. Dental management involves attention to the status of the patient and awareness of stimulants of the reactive airway. Clinical recommendations are provided.
