Space Maintainers for Children in Milton, ON
When a child loses a baby tooth too early, it can affect how permanent teeth grow in. At White Canvas Dentistry, we provide custom space maintainers for children in Milton, Ontario to help guide proper tooth development and prevent future orthodontic problems. Serving Milton families since 2008, our team focuses on early intervention, gentle care, and long-term smile health.
What Are Space Maintainers?
Space maintainers are small dental appliances used to hold open the space left behind when a baby tooth is lost too early. They help ensure permanent teeth erupt in the correct position. Space maintainers help:
- Prevent crowding and misalignment
- Guide proper eruption of adult teeth
- Reduce the need for future orthodontic treatment
- Maintain proper bite and jaw development
Early use can save time, cost, and discomfort later.
When Does a Child Need a Space Maintainer?
A space maintainer may be recommended if:
- A baby tooth is lost due to decay or infection
- A tooth is removed because of injury or trauma
- Baby teeth fall out much earlier than expected
- There is a risk of nearby teeth shifting
We carefully evaluate your child’s growth and development before recommending treatment.
