An additional fee you might see on a child’s dental bill for a routine checkup are space maintainers (ADA codes: 1510 - 1525). Space maintainers can be placed in a child’s mouth in the empty spaces where baby teeth have fallen out. The maintainers keep those spaces open so permanent teeth can come into place.
