PRODUCT INFORMATION
Description
Non-nutritive sucking habit (NNSH) refers to the act of sucking on objects like fingers, thumbs, or pacifiers that isn't related to feeding. It's a common comfort-seeking behavior in infants and young children, providing reassurance or helping them calm down. While it's normal in early childhood, prolonged sucking beyond the age of 3-4 can lead to dental issues like misaligned teeth, speech problems, and changes to the palate. Addressing the habit early through positive reinforcement, behavioral techniques, and, if needed, dental interventions can help prevent long-term complications.
