Accepted Answer

Many : Many children suck their thumb or fingers until age 2 to 4 years old. If they continue sucking  (to include a pacifier) once their permanent teeth come in, it can cause problems with how their teeth align.  If a child sucks her thumb really hard it can also impact her baby teeth.   Because you believe that your daughter may be experiencing an impact from her sucking; i suggest you have her see the dentist. Pedodontists are dentists who specialize in working with children.  Good luck.
