Space Maintainers
Space monitors are custom made by a dentist using acrylic and metal materials. It can be removed or cemented into the child’s mouth. The purpose of this is to free up space for the permanent tooth to erupt and come into place.
Why your child may need a space maintainer?
Children may need a space maintainer if they lose a tooth early or have a primary tooth extracted due to dental decay. It may take a few days for a child to get accustomed to wearing the appliance whether it is removal or cemented. If the space maintainer is cemented, it is very important to avoid chewy and sugary food, gums, or cande, because it may loosen or get caught on the appliance.
