What is a Space Maintainer?
A space maintainer is a small dental appliance that holds open the space left by a lost baby tooth. When kids lose baby teeth too soon, it causes other teeth to shift into that space. This happens often after extraction. Permanent teeth may face problems when they come out. A space maintainer prevents the movement of any teeth and maintains the correct alignment.
Why Your Child Might Need a Space Maintainer
A baby tooth was removed due to severe decay
An accident knocked out a tooth
A tooth was missing from birth
There is more than a year before the permanent tooth will erupt
Multiple baby teeth were lost on the same side
