How Can a Pacifier Impact My Child’s Teeth?

It is advisable to talk to your child-friendly dentist about using a pacifier properly. In this way you can reduce the risk of potential oral problems from overuse of a pacifier. Key takeaways:

Extended use of a pacifier can impact the roof of the mouth, so that over time the top and bottom rows of teeth will not touch.
Prolonged pacifier use can lead to teeth or jaw misalignment, as well as crooked or crowded teeth.
Your child should be weaned off a pacifier by the time they are two years old.

“While pacifiers can certainly be helpful, parents should use them with the understanding that they are temporary, not a habit to be encouraged.” Read the full story here : https://yourdentalhealthresource.com/how-does-a-pacifier-impact-your-childs-oral-health]]>
