👶 Parent's Corner | Pacifiers & Your Child's Smile
Pacifiers can comfort and soothe babies, but prolonged use may affect your child's oral development.
Extended pacifier use can increase the risk of:
🦷 Misaligned teeth (open bite)
🦷 Bite alignment problems
🦷 Changes in jaw development
🦷 Speech or tongue-thrusting habits
Most children naturally stop using a pacifier between 2 and 4 years of age. If your child continues using one beyond this age, speak with your dentist for guidance.
Early advice can help support healthy dental development and a confident smile for years to come.
