AB Lesions  of  the  mouth  and  throat  are  common  in  children  and  can  range  from  benign  conditions  that  require  no  intervention  to  significant  systemic  illness  requiring  extensive  treatment  and  support  (Table  124-1).  Making  the  distinction  between  these  conditions  can  be  difficult.  Mouth  pain  secondary  to  viral  infections  of  the  oropharynx  is  one  of  the  most  common  presenting  complaints  of  pediatric  patients;  however,  most  patients  require  no  treatment  beyond  supportive  care  and  pain  control.  Bacterial  infections  of  the  mouth  and  throat,  such  as  pharyngitis  and  uvulitis,  cause  local  and  systemic  illness  and  rarely  can  lead  to  life-threatening  complications.  The  management  of  dental  injuries,  whether  from  neglect  or  trauma,  differs  for  primary  and  permanent  teeth.
