If a child loses a baby tooth sooner than expected, the surrounding teeth may drift into the open space. This movement can cause crowding, bite misalignment, and make brushing and flossing more difficult. Over time, these changes can increase the risk of tooth decay and may lead to orthodontic treatment later.
Palm Valley Pediatric Dentistry provides custom space maintainers, which help prevent alignment issues before they become serious.
