210-479-9999 Our dentist may recommend a space maintainer if your child loses a tooth early. This simple appliance works to keep the place of the tooth open, preventing your child’s teeth from shifting and allowing their permanent tooth to erupt more easily in the future. To schedule a consultation with Dr. Vicki Leonhart and determine if a space maintainer in San Antonio, Texas, is right for your child, call us today at 210-479-9999.
