Can we make recommendations on the best way to stop thumb sucking habits?
Unlike other habits, this one is an incredibly difficult one to break. The thumb is a part of the body and can therefore not be thrown away. The child needs to be at an age where they understand the importance of ceasing the habit. In other words, they also must want to quit in order for any efforts made by the dental team to be effective. Our office has digit and habit cessation programs which we will be happy to explain at the time of your dental visit.
