Thumb Sucking Elimination

Thumb sucking is can be a common habit among young children, but it can cause many negative implications on children’s health. Extended thumb sucking usage can impact a child’s airway, dentition, feeding skills, and sleep.



We offer a thumb sucking elimination program starting at age 4! It's important to note that every child is different, and what works for one child may not work for another. However, a fun and positive remediation program can be a helpful tool for children in breaking the habit of thumb sucking.

Breaking a habit takes time and patience, so it's important to be supportive and understanding throughout the process. It's also important to address any underlying issues that may be causing the thumb sucking, such as an orofacial myofunctional disorder. With the right tools and encouragement, your child can successfully overcome their thumb sucking habit and enjoy improved oral health and overall wellbeing.
