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. Your dentist will be glad to suggest ways to address
a prolonged thumb-sucking habit.
