Lost a Baby Tooth Too Early? Here's Why It Matters
Every baby tooth has an important job.
Losing a baby tooth too soon may seem harmless, but it can affect how your child's permanent teeth grow. Baby teeth help guide adult teeth into the correct position. When one is lost early, nearby teeth can shift and reduce the space needed for the new tooth.
A space maintainer helps keep that space open, supporting healthy alignment and reducing the chance of future orthodontic treatment.
At Brighter Smiles Dapto Dental, we're here to help protect your child's smile every step of the way.
