The very young, pre-teens and teenagers all need a different approach in dealing with their behavior, guiding their dental growth and development, and helping them avoid future dental problems. The pediatric dentist is best qualified to meet these needs.

Baby teeth (we call them primary or deciduous teeth) aren't just for chewing. Each one also acts as a guide for the permanent tooth that replaces it. If a primary tooth is lost too early, the permanent tooth loses its guide and can drift or erupt incorrectly into the mouth. Neighboring teeth also can move or tilt into the space, so the permanent tooth can't come in.

A space maintainer is made of stainless steel and/or plastic. It can be removable, or your dentist can cement it in your child's mouth (called a fixed space maintainer). A removable space maintainer looks like a retainer. It uses artificial teeth or acrylic blocks to fill in the space or spaces that need to be maintained. This type of space maintainer often is used when the space is obvious to other people. Removable space maintainers work well in older children who can reliably follow directions about caring for this appliance.

Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry that deals with straightening and correcting the tooth alignment and the dental specialist who does this is called an "Orthodontist".

Generally, the first Orthodontic consultation with a qualified Orthodontist should be done when the child's first permanent incisors, usually lower central incisors, start erupting in the mouth i.e. at the age of about 7 years. After complete evaluation of your child, the Orthodontist may suggest to begin with early Orthodontic treatment.
