SPACE MAINTAINER 

The use of space maintainers in pediatric dentistry holds great significance as they play a crucial role in preventing neighboring teeth from shifting into the gap created by the loss of a primary tooth. This vital function serves to steer clear of potential orthodontic complications by ensuring that the permanent teeth emerge with the appropriate gaps between them. Regular appointments with a pediatric dentist facilitate timely intervention and enable the efficient utilization of space maintainers whenever required.
