THUMB SUCKING CLINICS
Thumb and finger sucking can be a difficult habit to stop and can cause real stress to both parents and children alike. Thumb and finger sucking is a totally natural reflex which babies and young children adopt for comfort. However, when the habit starts to create dental problems the battle to give up sucking can be a tough and distressing one.
Our free Dental Thumb Sucking Clinics aim to reach parents of persistent thumb or finger suckers and introduce them to the gentle, effective way to stop thumb or finger sucking. We’d also like to introduce parents to our child friendly dentists who are here to support the whole family in stopping this damaging habit.
Jo Bates, owner of Thumbsie Ltd is has teamed up with child friendly dentists in the UK to offer these revolutionary thumb sucking clinics. At the clinics the dentist and Jo Bates will be on hand to offer advice and encourage parents to share experiences and support each other.
