The old story
“Thumbsucking is normal for children and won’t affect their teeth since they’ll lose all their baby teeth anyway.”

“Thumbsucking is normal for children and won’t affect their teeth since they’ll lose all their baby teeth anyway.”
the facts
Thumbsucking is a natural reflex that helps children self-soothe by releasing dopamine, creating feelings of relaxation and comfort.
While it’s not a bad habit, prolonged thumbsucking beyond age four can affect dental development, leading to bite misalignment or changes in the mouth’s structure.
In some cases, underlying health issues like airway obstruction or reflux may contribute to the habit.
