SPACE MAINTAINERS

Joanna SAYS!

Dentist Brampton, Brampton Family Dentist, Best dentist Brampton, Brampton Dental Office, Tooth Extraction, Space Maintainer,
A space maintainer is a fixed or removable appliance which is used to hold the space of a baby tooth which has been removed early. The cause of the early loss may be due to natural causes or extracted due to extensive dental decay. It is important to keep the space clear for the adult tooth to erupt properly, if not, other teeth may shift into the spot and future orthodontic treatment may be needed. It is important to consult with a dental professional to determine if a space maintainer will be necessary and if one is placed on the child’s dentition how to properly clean and care for it.
