title: Medication for Gravid and Nursing Dental Patients.
abstract: The topics the authors address in this article are in many ways both broad and narrow. The broadness of this topic is clear when one considers the intersection of 2 of the more complex areas in medicine: pharmacology and obstetrics. Many of the common drugs used by dentists have been found to be safe for breastfeeding women; however, consultation with the treating physician may be needed.
