It’s natural for young children to stick fingers and thumbs in their mouths, and while a thumb sucking habit generally doesn’t affect the dental health of an infant or toddler, vigorous thumb sucking, especially in an older child, can impact the development of their smile. You can take steps to help your child quit thumb sucking to protect their smile from abnormal development.
Because your child’s smile is constantly undergoing development from baby teeth to permanent teeth, a habit of thumb sucking can cause the teeth to come in irregularly or the roof of the mouth to change shape.
For more tips on how to get your child to stop sucking their thumb in Manchester, Connecticut, contact Buckland Hills Dental at (860) 644-0099 and arrange a consultation with Dr. Chi soon.
