Tooth Extractions and Space Maintainers

In certain cases, a tooth may need to be extracted due to severe decay, crowding, or other dental issues. At Lesavoy Pediatric Dentistry, we prioritize your child's comfort and well-being during tooth extractions. Our team of professionals is trained to make the process as gentle and painless as possible.

We will also discuss appropriate tooth replacement options if necessary.

Space maintainers are dental devices used to preserve the space left by a prematurely lost primary (baby) tooth. When a primary tooth is lost before its permanent successor is ready to erupt, neighboring teeth can shift into the vacant space, leading to alignment issues and potential complications with the eruption of permanent teeth. Space maintainers prevent this by holding the space open until the permanent tooth is ready to emerge.

At Lesavoy Pediatric Dentistry, we offer customized space maintainers tailored to meet the unique needs of each child. Our experienced pediatric dentists will assess your child's dental condition and recommend the most suitable type of space maintainer.
