Why does a child suck the finger?
This issue was initially attributed to nervous factors, simple habit or lack of affection.
Recent studies have shown that the problem of finger-sucking derives from an incorrect position of the tongue, which does not have the proper contact with the palate.
The palate includes five receptive points of our body and has the function of balancing and stabilizing it. It is located behind the interincisive papilla.
The child with a wrong positioned tongue compensates the balance using the finger.
This bad habit arises when the child swallows incorrectly.
