Effects of thumb sucking: Children Dentistry

Trucare Dentistry Roswell17 Dec, 2020Health

Thumb sucking is usually considered normal with age up to 2, but this habit lasts a little longer for some children. A continued, vigorous thumb-sucking habit can seldom cause misalignment of your child�s permanent teeth and affect the jaw or the mouth�s shape or roof. Besides, thumb sucking also exposes your child to bacteria, viruses, or dirt.
