Dentists say that it is better to give a pacifier to your baby rather than letting him to suck his thumb. Why ? Because you get to control when the babies use a pacifier.
Experts at the Centre dentaire de la gare also want to remind you that to avoid tooth decay, you should not put sugar, honey or corn syrup on a pacifier. It is better for your baby to stop using a pacifier BEFORE the age of 3.
If your baby keeps sucking his thumb or a pacifier AFTER his permanent teeth come in, it could eventually affect how his jaw grows and his teeth position.
