Establishing a relationship with a dentist for your child within 6 months of the first tooth eruption, or by his/her first birthday is an important step to ensure a lifetime of healthy smiles. Additionally, children often have different needs than adults, making it important to find a dentist who understands children.
Proper growth and development is an important aspect of total body health. If a child loses a baby tooth early through decay or injury, other teeth could shift and cause crowding or filling of the vacant space. This can prevent permanent teeth from growing properly or cause problems with chewing and speaking.
To prevent this, space maintainers are placed to hold the spot left by the missing tooth. This could be a band or temporary crown attached to one of the adjacent teeth. Later, as the permanent tooth grows into the spot, the space maintainer is removed.

Doctor Sydney was awesome filling my daughters cavities. My daughter is 5 and I wasn’t sure how this was going to go. Wow. I’m so impressed. Not one tear. She went above and beyond to make sure Gina was comfortable. She worked quick and kept Gina informed every step in fun kid verbiage that kept her engaged. They had these sunglasses from the beginning that helped with the light in her eye. I mean every detail was thought out to care for a child. I go to Aceirno Dental with my son too and it has always been a positive experience. Everyone is great. Thank you Doctor Sydney.
