Dental care, How does thumb sucking affect dental health?

Monday, Oct. 25th 2010 9:22 AM

My almost two year old still like to thumb suck when he sleeps.   I stop him when I see him wake doing it and he pretty good about not going back.  But when he sleep is thum is in is mouth.  I do remove it carefully as to not wake him but after a few minutes he back to sucking his thumb.

Should I be consured about this?  I worry about his teeth not coming in right or geting out of place but I do not want to upset my son over this issue.  Not sure what the right age is for him to stop thumb sucking.
