Dental Space Maintenance

Get Your Child's Smile Back on Track With Space Maintenance

When your child loses a baby tooth too early, gaps can form that may cause alignment problems in the future. At High Five Pediatric Dentistry, we provide specialized space maintenance solutions created specifically for growing smiles in Orange County. Our pediatric dental space maintainers are custom-fitted devices that preserve the space until permanent teeth come in, helping prevent orthodontic problems later.

• Saturday appointments available for busy families
• Kid-friendly office with games and play areas
• Conservative approach to dental care
• Modern, comfortable private treatment rooms
• Gentle appointments for anxious children
• New patient specials and membership plans

Early tooth loss can lead to future dental problems for your child. Reach out to us today to learn how space maintainers can protect your child's developing smile.

Signs Your Child May Need a Space Maintainer

Spotting when space maintenance is necessary can prevent alignment issues and avoid more complex treatment later. At High Five Pediatric Dentistry, we help parents recognize when these specialized devices might benefit their child's dental development.

• Early loss of baby teeth from decay or injury
• New gaps between teeth
• Neighboring teeth moving into empty spaces
• Teeth missing from birth
• Chewing or speaking problems after tooth loss
• Crowding as permanent teeth emerge
• Uneven loss of primary teeth

If you've noticed any of these signs in your child's smile, consider scheduling a professional evaluation. Our team at High Five Pediatric Dentistry can assess your child's needs and suggest appropriate solutions.
