Is there a need for a space maintainer for the upper primary first molar. My 4 year old will not let the dentist put it in due to anxiety after he got it extracted. I have read that it is always necessary so I just want to know the extent we should go to get it put in. I really want to proactively avoid braces for my little one. If we are not successful will that space close up. He has very gappy teeth

May I ask what happened for the tooth to get extracted in the first place? Was it growing in the wrong spot or was it more of a trauma damaged it and it was removed for safety reasons? The cause of the extraction may be an indicator to the type of issues your son may or may not be facing in the future.
