Pacifiers and oral health: Beware of the dummy!
Updated | By The Workzone with Elana Afrika-Bredenkamp
How long should my baby be using a pacifier?
How long should my baby be using a pacifier? What if my toddler is still thumb-sucking? Does this affect my child's speech and dental development?
Research now shows that all these aspects shape our entire health profile as we grow older - from speech to breathing, how well we sleep, and even our mental health.
In this podcast we are joined by two experts - paediatric dentist, Dr Farah Seedat, and Janay-Alexander Gilchrist, a qualified clinical hypnotherapist and breathing method practitioner.
