Infant thumb or finger sucking

 

"Dr. Dougherty, should I worry about thumb or finger sucking?"
  Thumb sucking is perfectly normal for infants; most stop by the age of two. Prolonged (beyond age 5 or 6 years) thumb sucking can create crowded, crooked teeth or bite problems. At Artistic Dental at the Biltmore we will be glad to suggest ways to address a prolonged thumb-sucking habit.

Call us at 602 840-5400 for more information.
