Thumb or finger sucking in infants
| |||||||||
 |
"Dr. Hughes, should I worry about thumb or finger sucking?" |
|
Thumb sucking is perfectly normal for infants; most
stop by the age of two. Prolonged (beyond age 5 or 6 years) thumb
sucking can create crowded, crooked teeth or bite problems. At E Richard Hughes DDS we
will be glad to suggest ways to address a prolonged
thumb-sucking habit. Call us at (888) 653-0064 for more information. |
