Space maintainers are needed if your child loses a tooth early or have a baby tooth extracted due to dental decay. A space maintainer is designed to hold the remaining teeth in a position that will allow the future permanent tooth to erupt in the proper location. If a space maintainer is not places, the teeth will shift into the open areas, making it difficult for the permanent tooth to erupt.

I've been a patient at Dr. Meade's office for 15+ years now and they've always treated me like family. They are always willing to accommodate me (even with my super busy work schedule) to keep my teeth clean and in tip-top shape! I have always been happy and pleased with any work I have gotten done. I definitely recommend Dr.Meade's office to everyone. Thank you! - David S.
