What should I do if the space maintainer is dislodged or falls out?

In the rare occurrence the space maintainer comes loose or falls out, please do not try to push it back in as this can bend the spacer out of place. Instead, please contact us to schedule an appointment as soon as possible so it can be secured properly. 

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