If used carefully, pacifiers can benefit baby, however, it's important to be aware of the down sides too:


- The dentist will recommend that pacifiers are only used at nap times as prolonged use can affect the development of baby's mouth shape, jaw and teeth.
- Future dental problems can include an incorrect bite and misaligned teeth.
- Dentist opinions differ on when children should be weaned off their pacifier with recommendations ranging from 6 months to 2 years.


"Unfortunately, children who experience teeth or jaw alignment issues from pacifier misuse will require orthodontic intervention in the future."
