While it’s true that baby teeth are destined to fall out and be replaced by their adult counterparts, when they fall out too early, their absence can cause trouble down the line. Fortunately, space maintainers can keep your child’s teeth from shifting, so their smiles can continue to grow and develop as they should.

Why would my child need space maintainers?
Space maintainers are essential if your child loses a baby tooth early. Baby teeth are meant to fall out eventually. But they also help form the “paths” that the adult teeth take when they emerge, and help young patients maintain proper alignment for their permanent teeth. If they lose a tooth early, they may have a higher risk of orthodontic complications later in life. With a space maintainer, your child’s pediatric dentist can make sure that early baby tooth loss doesn’t affect their oral development.
Did you know…
The first baby teeth start to fall out around the age of 6, and the last baby teeth fall out around the ages of 12-14.

The Benefits of Space Maintenance
Find Out if No prep Veneers are Right for You
If you're looking a minimally invasive treatment to enhance your smile, no prep veneers offer a cutting-edge solution. These are custom-designed to fit seamlessly over your natural teeth—no shaving and often no enamel removal required. No prep veneers deliver a brighter, more balanced smile with minimal impact on your existing tooth structure.
Night Guards
Unconscious teeth grinding and clenching, known as bruxism, is a common issue that tends to happen at night while patients are asleep. However, night guards can help patients alleviate symptoms of bruxism by creating a barrier between your teeth that protects them from grinding-related damage. Depending on the severity of the case, night guards can be made from several different materials with varying degrees of softness.
TMJ Relief with Botox
If you’re dealing with jaw pain, tension headaches, or teeth grinding from TMJ, Botox could offer the relief you’ve been looking for. We use Botox as a targeted, non-surgical treatment to relax overactive jaw muscles and ease TMJ symptoms. Most patients notice significant improvement in comfort, mobility, and sleep within days. Treatment is quick, comfortable, and performed right here in our office.
