With great difficulty my son gave up thumb sucking. What other habits can be detrimental for his teeth?
Another common problem mothers face is grinding/gnashing of teeth – BRUXISM. It usually occurs at night but if carried out for long period of time can cause wearing (abrasion) of both milk and permanent teeth. If habit continues into adulthood severe gum problems, sensitivity of teeth and sometime joint disturbances (pain) of lower jaw.
