Thumbsucking and dummies

|
| Description: |
Thumbsucking, or the use of a dummy by a baby, is little cause for concern before permanent teeth appear. If the habit persists after permanent teeth appear, the thumb and dummy may force the teeth and jaw out of alignment. This may then need correction by a dental specialist.

Taking care of your baby's teeth
|
| Publisher: |
Queensland Health
|
| Description: |
Healthy teeth allow your toddler to eat, speak and smile. Baby teeth keep the space for permanent teeth, so they need to be looked after. Your child's baby teeth will appear any time from birth to 27 months. Start tooth-brushing as soon as the first tooth appears to prevent tooth decay. Teething problems can include pain and irritability. Have good oral hygiene to avoid passing tooth-decaying bacteria to your baby. If your baby goes to bed with a bottle, ensure it only contains water.
