Thumb Sucking

Thumb sucking and mouth play is a totally normal developmental phase and often children will stop in their own time. If children continue to suck beyond 5 years we can start to see more permanent changes occurring in the mouth and teeth.

Sometimes thumb sucking can be a symptom of a much greater, seemingly unrelated, issue. So, its always good to have a trained professional take a closer look at the habit.
