Preserving space for healthy permanent teeth with expert pediatric dental care at The Little Smiles, Janakpuri, Delhi.
Space maintainers are custom-made dental appliances used when a child loses a baby tooth earlier than expected due to decay, trauma, or extraction. Their primary purpose is to preserve the space until the permanent tooth erupts naturally.
Without a space maintainer, neighboring teeth may shift into the empty space, increasing the risk of crowding, bite problems, and the need for future orthodontic treatment. At The Little Smiles, Dr. Pratima Goswami provides carefully designed space maintainers to support healthy dental development.
