The incorrect use of soothers or dummies can lead to future problems with a child’s teeth and even jaw and mouth development. A dentist should always be consulted at the first sign of dental problems but using a soother properly can reduce the risk of later dental issues.


Basic guidelines to follow when using a soother are:


• Try limiting its use to when the child is sleeping or napping
• Do not dip the soother in sweet solutions
• Wean the child off the soother by the age of two or earlier


A soother should be used “only as a last resort” after the first twelve months.
