Thumb Sucking

Thumb Sucking

Along with favorite blankets, teddy bears, and nap time, thumb-sucking can be one of the most comforting aspects of childhood. According to a recent report, between 75% and 95% of infants suck their thumbs, so chances are there's a thumbsucker (or a former thumbsucker) in your family. Is this cause for worry?

In most cases, the answer is no. However, it's important to pay attention to your child's habits in case his or her behavior has the potential to affect overall oral health.
