A habit is a fixed practice established due to repetition, like, tooth brushing – it is a habit, a necessary one at that. But there are also habits that are deleterious. The deleterious habits developed during childhood, that can affect your teeth and other oral tissues include :
Tongue thrusting,
Thumb sucking,
Lip biting,
Bruxism (tooth grinding)
Mouth breathing etc.
These habits can be harmful to your child in many ways. We provide guidance and necessary help to break these habits.
Some of the habits, like thumb sucking, might extinguish on their own. Other times, your child might require professional help to lose the harmful habit and cultivate healthy ones. That is where we come in.
Sometimes, a mere positive reinforcement may be sufficient for the child to break free of the habit, other times, they may require the assistance of what we call habit breaking appliances. These appliances are customized to be comfortable to the child and simultaneously serve the purpose of helping rid of the particular habit that requires to be eliminated.
