Poor Dental development
The use of a pacifier can affect the alignment of teeth, when they do come. It is advisable to discontinue the pacifier before it has a too much of an effect on the new teeth.
Choking
A pacifier can get stuck in the baby’s mouth or throat and remember to change them regularly as broken pieces can be swallowed or stuck in the throat
Developmental Issues
Once a baby starts transitioning from sucking to chewing , at around 6 months old, the use of a pacifier becomes detrimental to their development
Affect Speech
As the mouth grows, it will grow and develop around anything in the mouth such as a pacifier which in turn will affect not only teeth and tongue development but also their speech.
