How does thumb sucking affect dental health?

Thumb sucking is a natural reflex for infants and young children, but prolonged thumb sucking can lead to dental issues such as misaligned teeth and bite problems. It is recommended to discourage thumb sucking by the age of 4. Positive reinforcement and providing comfort objects can help in breaking the habit.
