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.  Your dentist will be glad to suggest ways to address a prolonged thumb-sucking habit.
