How do I care for a space maintainer?

How do I care for a space maintainer?

Caring for a space maintainer involves keeping it clean by brushing twice daily and flossing particularly around the stainless-steel band of the space maintainer. Avoid hard, sticky, chewy foods such as muesli bars, minties and toffees. It is important to schedule regular check-ups to monitor the maintainers condition and make necessary adjustments.

 
Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
