A member asked:
Is it healthy for a baby to eat his lower lip?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Habits: Pernicious habits can cause malocclusion. Sucking on lower lip can cause upper teeth to protrude and can desiccate the lower lip. Talk to your pediatrician and seek advice from a pediatric dental specialist (pedodontist).
