Occasionally, a child’s tooth may fall out or be knocked out too early. When this occurs, Dr. Daniel McLaughlin can provide a space maintainer to hold the space open so that the permanent tooth can erupt without difficulty and the remaining teeth do not shift out of place. For more information about space maintainers in Edison, New Jersey, and to make an appointment with our orthodontist, call David S. Ainsworth & Associates today at 732-287-6611.
