Space Maintainers with Artificial Teeth

My eldest has been very excited for his graduation..  They've been practicing their song and dance presentation for weeks and this got him all giddy!

The week before his graduation, 3 of his teeth fell off..  :(


We felt really sad about it, so we decided to ask my dentist friend, Dr. Em Esquillo if he could do something about it.  He then recommended a space maintainer with artificial teeth.



Choosing the right color

Thank goodness this boy didn't have any qualms on the idea of getting "fake teeth".  He panicked a little when they were making an impression of his teeth but no biggie, he was easy to calm.. 
We were also told that space maintainers keeps the space open until the permanent tooth comes in.  Helpful eh?!


We got the "fake teeth" just after 3 days!  Whew!  Just in time for his Culminating Activity!!


Charan!!  Just look at that smile..  It's all worth it!

  1. As much as our dental health is important, we also have to learn taking care of our kids' teeth in order to make sure that they will practice good oral hygiene as they grow up.
