10. I can’t get my child to stop sucking
his fingers/thumb!
Parents of children who have a finger habit can
drive themselves crazy trying many methods to convince their child to
stop the habit. If your child has a finger habit, the goal is always to
have them stop the habit prior to starting Kindergarten. Your child’s
front baby teeth will be replaced with adult teeth around this time. When
the front adult teeth are erupting, you want to avoid any forces placed on
these teeth so that they can erupt in their natural
positions. Pediatric dentists have many ideas to help parents fight
the finger-sucking battle – so make sure to ask at your next check-up
visit!
