Should I Worry About Thumb or Finger Sucking?

Thumb sucking is perfectly normal for infants; most stop by the age of two.

Prolonged thumb sucking (beyond age 5 or 6 years) can create crowded, crooked teeth or bite problems. Your dentist will be glad to suggest ways to address a prolonged thumb-sucking habit.
