Space Maintainer Post-Op

Space maintainer is cemented to the existing tooth that is behind the missing tooth with an arm extending out touching the tooth in front of the empty space. This arm is there to keep that empty space open to allow the adult tooth underneath to erupts when ready. The space maintainer is ready to be remove once the adult tooth erupts and touches the bars.

After placement of the space maintainer, it is very important that your child does not eat anything hard on it or play with it, as this can cause it to fall off. If it does fall off, it is imperative that you save the space maintainer so we can re-cement it back into place.

This was our second visit to kids city. The facility is bright and clean, and the staff is extremely friendly. Brianna took care of my three year old today, and was incredibly friendly, patient, and kind. We are very happy with the care he has received!

Came here for the first time with my two children and they did amazing. My children were comfortable and entertained the whole time. It went very smoothly. All the ladies at the front desk were super sweet and nice. Lupita was great and very helpful. Definitely will be our new regular dentist for the whole family.

Dr. McFarlin and all the staff at Kids City are amazing! They are all so polite and they took such good care of my daughter! I couldn’t ask for a better experience for her! Thank you all so much! Wish I could get dental work done here with the kids!
