Space Maintainers in Sherwood Park
Some children lose their primary teeth too soon. A space maintainer saves the space for permanent teeth and prevents future orthodontic problems.
Primary teeth normally stay until the permanent teeth push them out and take their place. Unfortunately, a tooth may be knocked out accidentally or removed due to tooth decay or abscess.
A space maintainer will hold open the empty space left by a lost or removed tooth. It is made to keep the remaining teeth steady, preventing movement (drifting or tipping) until the permanent tooth takes its natural position in the jaw.
For more information on how space maintainers can help your child's oral health, call Sherwood Park Dental today.
