Child Thump Sucking
General Info about Thumb Sucking
Thumb sucking in kids
has always caused embarrassment to lots of parents. The parents were more concerned over the social embarrassment caused by this habit than the actual physical destroy caused by it.
This foolish habit as it appears to lots of parents not only causes abnormally arranged teeth but also implicates the mental state of the kid.
Steps To Cease Thumb Sucking
“Amy must cease sucking her thumb! He is damaging her upper palate and distorting her teeth”
With those words ringing in her ears, Cathy Sawbridge left her dentist where he had taken her 2 year elderly daughter for a check up. He resolved to help her cease the thumb sucking habit, but how?
He tried all the elderly techniques: foul tasting paint, star charts and rewards, nagging her… All with small or no success! When Amy was worn out in went the thumb.
Then he found the answer! A discreet medical grade plastic guard which sits over the thumb and is fixed firmly around the wrist with secure brightly coloured bracelets. It works by stopping the kid making a seal over their thumb and thereby stopping suction, so they cannot suck.
Amy wore it 24/7. Cathy took it off every day to wash, replacing it with another bracelet. Cathy says “I made the whole experience fun, they colour co-ordinated the bracelets along with her clothes each day. He wore it proudly to playgroup and explained to all who would listen it was to help her cease sucking her thumb. It did not inhibit her every day activities at all.”
