Denture of my daughter

2018-09-10 02:33:34
Hi, My daughter sometimes especially when sleeping sucks her thumb and there is gap between her lower and upper jaws. Can we do something at this stage so we can avoid longer treatment at later stage. Thanks

Give her more love n attention. Divert her attention whenever she starts to suck her thumb but don't forcefully remove her thumb. Gradually she will leave her habit

Too early to do anything at this stage. Just talk to the child so that she doesn’t do thumb sucking in the day
