What Can I Do To Stop My Child’s Habit?

Most children stop sucking habits on their own, but some children need the help of their parents and their pediatric dentist. When your child is old enough to understand the possible results of a sucking habit, your pediatric dentist can urge your child to stop, as well as talk about what happens to the teeth and jaws if your child does not stop. This advice, coupled with support from parents, helps most children quit. If this approach does not work, your pediatric dentist may recommend ways to change the behavior, including a mouth appliance that interferes with sucking habits. Remember to always praise your child for their efforts. Leave us your comments. We greatly appreciate your opinion. Let us know what other topic you would like to have covered.
