Thumb Sucking and Your Child’s Smile

• Thumb sucking is common and normal in babies and toddlers, it helps them feel calm and secure.

• Most children naturally stop by age 3–4. If it continues past that age, it can affect the growth of the jaws or the position of the front teeth.

• Avoid scolding or shaming. Use positive reminders and praise your child for keeping their thumb out.

• If thumb sucking continues after age 4 or starts to move the front teeth forward, ask BalloonDoc 🎈🦷 for gentle habit-breaking tips and fun reward ideas.
