Thumb or finger sucking in infants
| ||||||||||
|
|
"Dr. Rastegar, 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 New York & Manhattan Cosmetic Dentist we
will be glad to suggest ways to address a prolonged thumb-sucking habit. Call us at (212) 692-9090 for more information. |
