		Thumb sucking is a common habit among children.  Many children stop sucking on their own.   Thumb sucking isn't usually a concern until a child's permanent teeth come in.  It will affect the jaw development especially the palate and causes openbite in these patients.  It is recommended to have patient visit pediatric dentist or orthodontist to evaluate as soon as possible to stop this harmful habit.
