It is common for parents to wonder whether it is bad for kids to be sucking their thumbs or fingers. Lots of households have at least one “thumb-sucker” and we at Atrium Family Dental are here to set the record straight about the problems that arise from thumb sucking.
The big question is, should you worry about your child if they are sucking their thumb? For the most part, there is nothing to worry about. Thumb sucking is completely natural for most children, making them feel secure and content and even being quite relaxing for them. This habit is something that most kids can easily grow out of when they hit the ages of two and four.

It’s simple: The Invisalign Illinois experts at Atrium Family Dental create a series of clear aligners to straighten your teeth. These aligners are practically invisible to others, which is why they are becoming more popular among adults and teens. You will be responsible for wearing these aligners for two week periods. After two weeks, you will receive a new set of aligners to slowly shift your teeth into their desired final position. Best of all, Invisalign is completely removable, meaning that you can also take the aligners out which makes brushing, flossing and eating easier.

Parents are in the scariest position at Halloween, predicting the cavities, temper tantrums and hyperactivity that will result from the copious candy intake by their youngsters.
The best way to avoid any of these truly tricky consequences in the aftermath of Halloween is not to consume any candy at all. However, we know that’s highly unlikely and that’s why your experts at Atrium Family Dental have created a Halloween candy guide to help protect your kids from tooth decay and thereby ensure their optimal oral health for life.
