Will my child's teeth be permanently damaged?

My 2 year old daughter still uses a pacifier and her teeth are starting to show all of the signs of pacifier damage,misalignment,narrowing roof,ect. Should I be worried about her permanent teeth or will this problem fix by the time they start to come in? signed,Worried Mommy

Will my child's teeth be permanently damaged?
Sorry, but baby teeth are almost as important as adult teeth. You cannot damage baby teeth and then wait for adult teeth to make up for it. Stop the pacifier bit, and take her to a dentist who specialises in children's teeth. Take care of it now, and you will not have serious problems later. Part of being a parent is to take care of things that children cannot.
Reply:****** idiot Report It

Reply:Yous should be worried. They will affect her for a very long time, because using a pacifier will hurt her structurally. You should wean her off her pacifier as soon as possible.
Reply:No it will not be permanently damaged, these are baby teeth.





You might be paying big if the second teeth are damaged braces are very expensive. my mom took all of us off by the time we were 6 month before teeth
Reply:As long as they are baby teeth you are fine.

Reply:Braces fix everything anyway, so you shouldn't worry.
Reply:maybe go to a dentist he would know for sure
Reply:She will lose her baby teeth and grow back normal, if not then she can get them fixed later in life.
Reply:Work to get her off the pacifier. If she continues to use it and / or suck her thumb after the permanent teeth start to come in there will be a problem. My oldest daughter has continued to suck her thumb and now has a narrow pallet and needs braces and her pallet widened.
Reply:yes it will damaged her permanent teeth. It will cause the front teeth to stick out like rabbit. Asked a dentist they will tell you the same.
Reply:Of my three kids, the one who wouldn't quit sucking her thumb until she was 8 or 10 turned out to have the best bite and best smile of them all - without braces. Lip pressure is an awesome force. Once she actually quit, it was only a matter of a few months before it was obvious that her teeth were being pushed back down where they belonged.





So, take heart. She might not need braces after it is all said and done. I'd start saving, though.
