The Dangers of Pacifier Use (And How to Avoid Them)

Pacifiers can be a wonderful soothing tool for babies, but they do come with significant oral/dental risks when not used properly. This includes things like an overbite, underbite, misaligned teeth, changes in the roof of the mouth and other quite severe issues. In this video you'll learn how to safely use a pacifier to avoid these issues while still getting the benefits that come with pacifier use. You'll also learn about orthodontic pacifiers and whether they are really helpful, and how to transition between pacifiers if needed. Plus I share the results of a fascinating study that compared the teeth alignment of children who used conventional pacifiers, orthodontic pacifiers and no pacifiers at all. ✅ Get your free 0 - 12 months old developmental milestone chart here: https://brightestbeginning.com/12mont... ✅ Get your free Communication Milestones Chart here: https://brightestbeginning.me/cuuaa 👶 Facilitate healthy development, ensure your little one hits their developmental milestones, develop a secure attachment, build strong communication skills and more with my course, Play, Develop, Thrive: https://brightestbeginning.com/course... 📱 Follow me on Instagram:   / brightest.beginning   ☕ Just want to say thanks?
