Teaching Dental Health Details
Pacifiers have been shown to interfere with breastfeeding, especially if introduced within the first 6 weeks of life.[13][14]Children who suck pacifiers may be more prone to ear infections (otitis media).[15] Some older infants may have delayed speech development due to the pacifier's constant presence in their mouths preventing them from practicing their speaking skills.[citation needed] One study revealed that sucking habits, including the use of a pacifier, increased the chance of dental problems. "Results indicate that the prevalence of crossbite in the molar area steadily increased from 5.8 percent for children who stopped the habit by one year of age, to 13 percent among children who stopped between two and three years old, to more than 20 percent for those who continued the habit after they turned four years old." [16] The study also revealed: "...children who continue to suck a thumb, finger or pacifier past age two increase their risk of developing protruding front teeth."
