Best Thumb Sucking Therapy In
Washington D.C. To Improve Children's
Oral Health
Is your child still sucking their thumb even though
they're well past the breastfeeding age?
While the habit may be comforting
for them, thumb sucking (clinically
referred to as non-nutritive sucking)
can cause long-term developmental
damage for your child.
Luckily, Children's Choice Pediatric
Dentistry and Orthodontics' new
initiative aims to improve children's
oral health and reduce the negative
effects of non-nutritive sucking.
Non-nutritive sucking
(NNS), more commonly
referred to as thumb or
finger sucking, can cause
severe developmental
issues with the teeth, jaw,
and facial muscles.
If left untreated, NNS can
lead to speech difficulties as
children learn to talk. As kids
grow into teenagers, these
early-stage concerns can
result in a misshapen face
and jaw.
Children's Choice Pediatric
Dentistry and Orthodontics has
an in-house specialist that uses
myofunctional therapy to
effectively retrain a child’s
orofacial muscles.
Not only does NNS therapy improve your child's
oral health, but their respiratory and digestive
health as well, helping them eat, breathe, swallow,
and speak more effectively.
