Digit & Pacifier Sucking Habits

Sucking is a natural habit that is acceptable as an infant. However, prolonged sucking (past 6 month pacifier, past 5 years digit sucking) leads to airway, dental and emotional issues. The tongue cannot function properly when a digit or pacifier is occupying the oral space. Contact me for help today.
