Oral Habits

Thumbsucking and other oral habits such as use of a pacifier, lip, tongue and cheek biting begin during very early childhood. These habits can be damaging to the child's bite, and lip and facial development. Your dentist should be consulted for advice on how, and when, it is appropriate to end the habit or reduce it's side effects.
