I have a sixteen month old daughter who, thankfully, has never been much of a thumb sucker. She is, however, somewhat relient on her pacifier (something we're hoping to break by age two). I'm curious to see if she'll end up resorting to thumb sucking or not. Never the less, I'm glad to have come across this post since I'll probably be needing it again in the near future. :) Thanks!Orthodontist KChttp://www.fryorthodontics.com/orthodontist-kansas-city/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16472438.post-65641893764504981462012-06-19T10:24:24.073-07:002012-06-19T10:24:24.073-07:00Thanks for the post.

I found that putting yucky tasting things on the thumb is efective, but only for a while, as my toddler would start to become very upset that his thumb had a bizarre flavor and would try to wipe it off. It is strange that both my sister and I had over bites but our mother says we never thumb sucked, not once.Mandyhttp://www.cashfordentalscrap.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16472438.post-82670187404330695412012-05-13T17:42:38.589-07:002012-05-13T17:42:38.589-07:00Very nice write upVery nice write upMarielaina Perrone DDShttp://www.drperrone.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16472438.post-71101323885839514902012-04-29T18:12:13.140-07:002012-04-29T18:12:13.140-07:00Dr. Brandon: thanks so much for the helpful info. ...Dr. Brandon: thanks so much for the helpful info.

I came across your Alabama Pediatric Dentists website a couple posts down and was very impressed with the design of your site. I think it’s 90x better then most pediatric websites I’ve seen!<br /><br />I’d love to pick your brain for 5-10 minutes about your experience working with what I assume was a design agency. I’m developing a web design service specializing in helping pediatric dentistry, so I’m excited about the possibility of asking an expert in the industry a few questions.<br /><br />Would it be possible for me to send you a few specific question in the future?<br /><br />Thanks,<br />RobertRobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17628742026279770230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16472438.post-63397651025163212862012-04-19T08:27:47.150-07:002012-04-19T08:27:47.150-07:00Thank you for the helpful links and information.

My <a href="http://www.mtldentistry.com" rel="nofollow">dentist</a> said they will likely not develop it but it can exhibit itself later because of various triggers. How worried should I be?
