The Truth About Pacifiers 👶🏻

According to the AAPD (American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry), pacifiers can bring benefits and drawbacks. Among parents, using a pacifier can be a highly debated subject, even if your child has already demonstrated positive feelings for their binky.

💙 What does a pacifier do?
Pacifiers and binkies exist to help parents. They pacify infants when they are not hungry or too full but still want the comfort of sucking. In the early months of a new baby, pacifiers can be extremely helpful. They allow babies to self soothe.

🦷 On the positive side:
🔅 Pacifiers provide a source of comfort to infants.
🔅 Pacifiers can assist in reducing the chance of sudden infant death syndrome because babies with pacifiers sleep less deeply and are more easily awakened.

🦷 On the negative side:
Pacifiers can harm the growth and development of the mouth and teeth.
🔺 Prolonged use can cause changes in the shape of the roof of the mouth.
🔺 Prolonged use can also prevent proper growth of the mouth and create problems with tooth alignment.
🔺 Pacifiers can increase the risk of acute middle ear infections.
🔺 For a fussy baby, most parents would agree that a pacifier can be an amazing tool for calming and soothing — and it is preferable to thumb sucking. However, dental experts warn that once your child is preschool-aged, it can interfere with the development of healthy teeth. More alarming, if your child continues using a pacifier past age three, serious dental malformation can occur. Additionally, children who use pacifiers past the toddler years may be more likely to need braces in the future.

🧡 If you choose to give your child a pacifier follow these tips to reduce the chances of affecting their dental development:
🔹Restrict pacifier use to when the infant needs to fall asleep.
🔹Choose a pacifier with ventilation holes in the shield, permitting the passage of air.
🔹 Frequently clean and change out the pacifier.

💚 When you choose to break the pacifier habit:
Do it by age two, as up to that age, teeth alignment or bone development problems usually correct themselves by about six months after pacifier use stops.
