Thumb sucking or pacifiers can affect the form of the baby teeth, pushing them forward due to the weight of the thumb. Try to discourage your child from thumb sucking or using a pacifier as he or she grows older. Also, never “sweeten” your childs pacifier with juice or sugar. Prolonged exposure will cause tooth decay.
