Oral Habits

Pacifier sucking, nail biting, and thumb/finger sucking can be damaging to developmental growth.

Even though sucking and biting can be calming and help soothe, they can also have a significant impact on the development of the face, mouth, airway, and dentition. We will help create an efficient elimination plan based on the child's age and severity. If your child is beyond 10 months and still utilizing a pacifier or your child is beyond 12 months and finger/thumb sucking, this therapy is for you.
