Space Maintainer

Most parents believe that the baby / milk teeth are not important and it is ok to loose them. This is NOT TRUE. Each tooth has a purpose and needs to stay in the mouth. Sometimes there is decay that extends all the way to the root and cannot be salvaged. No root canal. No filling. We would extract but will fabricate a space maintainer. To hold the space till the permanent tooth comes in to that place. Rightfully reserved!
