These habits, which constantly create pressure in the mouth, can cause the upper front teeth to be pushed forward and create a gap between the lower teeth. This is called \u201copen bite\u201d and may lead to the need for orthodontic intervention at a later age.  <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"aux-parallax-section elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-21709a2\" data-id=\"21709a2\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8397b3d elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"8397b3d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1350\" src=\"https:\/\/avrupaubkdental.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/cocuklarda-parmak-emme-ve-emzik-kullanimi-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-7833\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/avrupaubkdental.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/cocuklarda-parmak-emme-ve-emzik-kullanimi-1.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/avrupaubkdental.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/cocuklarda-parmak-emme-ve-emzik-kullanimi-1-200x250.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-44f28db elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"44f28db\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"aux-parallax-section elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-dc2b9e4\" data-id=\"dc2b9e4\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7e3f69c elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"7e3f69c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1350\" src=\"https:\/\/avrupaubkdental.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/cocuklarda-parmak-emme-ve-emzik-kullanimi-2.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-7839\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/avrupaubkdental.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/cocuklarda-parmak-emme-ve-emzik-kullanimi-2.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/avrupaubkdental.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/cocuklarda-parmak-emme-ve-emzik-kullanimi-2-200x250.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"aux-parallax-section elementor-column elementor-col-66 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-b683173\" data-id=\"b683173\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-71b2a47 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"71b2a47\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">When to Stop Finger Sucking and Pacifier Use?<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-37fcb8f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"37fcb8f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p data-start=\"1651\" data-end=\"1915\">Experts generally recommend reducing these habits after the age of 2 and stopping them completely by the age of 3. This is because if the habit is stopped before this age, there is a high probability that the structural changes that may occur in the teeth will correct themselves.

Positive reinforcement and distraction methods may be more effective than pressure. In addition, if pacifiers are preferred, it is recommended to choose orthodontic pacifiers and to use them only at bedtime. Since finger sucking behavior is more difficult to control, it may be helpful to seek support from a pediatric dentist or child development specialist.   <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"aux-parallax-section elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c691ac5\" data-id=\"c691ac5\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2ac086e elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"2ac086e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1660\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/avrupaubkdental.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/cocuklarda-parmak-emme-ve-emzik-kullanimi-3.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-7845\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/avrupaubkdental.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/cocuklarda-parmak-emme-ve-emzik-kullanimi-3.jpg 1660w, https:\/\/avrupaubkdental.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/cocuklarda-parmak-emme-ve-emzik-kullanimi-3-1536x999.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/avrupaubkdental.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/cocuklarda-parmak-emme-ve-emzik-kullanimi-3-200x130.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1660px) 100vw, 1660px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-33d9791 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"33d9791\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"aux-parallax-section elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f41da64\" data-id=\"f41da64\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-44ec201 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"44ec201\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4488dcd elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"4488dcd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Finger Sucking and Pacifier Use in Children Finger sucking and pacifier use are very common habits in infancy and early childhood.
