How to explain
“Space Maintenance”
to a 5-year-old
Space maintenance is like having a special superhero for your teeth! Sometimes when a tooth falls out too early, the dentist uses a tiny appliance to keep the space open until your new tooth grows in. It’s like making sure there’s always room for your new tooth to come in and keep your smile looking awesome!
