Infant thumb or finger sucking

	"Dr. Carmody, should I worry about thumb or finger sucking?"
	Thumb sucking is perfectly normal for infants; most stop by the age of two. Prolonged (beyond age 5 or 6 years) thumb sucking can create crowded, crooked teeth or bite problems. At Dennis J Carmody DDS we will be glad to suggest ways to address a prolonged thumb-sucking habit. Call us at (877) 639-8920 for more information.

while still maintaining normal breathing and the ability to respond appropriately to physical and verbal stimulation.
