Most children leave thumb sucking behind naturally and easily. Around age five, when their permanent teeth start coming in, Children's Dental Care of Northwest Indiana recommends keeping an eye on this habit. This continued action can put a lot of pressure on the teeth and gums, which might cause some issues down the road.
