Pediatric Dental Partners congratulates the recent graduates of our Thumb Sucking Program

Our doctors and team at Pediatric Dental Partners would like to recognize all of the super star graduates of our Thumb Sucking Program.

Sucking is a natural reflex for an infant, and can provide security and contentment as well as relaxation for your little one. Children begin our Thumb Sucking program ideally before getting their permanent teeth and braces, with the goal of them breaking the thumb sucking habit.

In the program, a Hygienist gives the child words of encouragement and helps the child work through breaking the habit. The Hygienist calls the child every night for the first week, and then a couple of times each week for the following four weeks. All graduates of the Thumb Sucking Program are given a certificate, balloons, a gift card to Target, prizes, and a waiting room celebration.

If you've got a thumb-sucker in the house, give us a call today and we can help assess the situation, and determine if our Thumb Sucking Program is right for your child.
