Awareness

Thumb sucking is a perfectly natural thing for a baby – and a toddler – to do. The medical community is a little split over this issue, but one thing we are definitely sure of is that when a child sucks too hard on their thumb, it can cause lasting damage on their teeth.

We may look at kids and teenagers and wish we were their age again, with no worries, good health and a life filled with happiness. Sadly, while things look great from the other side, the lives of kids and teens are actually more stressful than you can imagine.

Medical mistakes not only injure more people than you think, they can be deadly. Recent research shows that—after heart disease and cancer—medical mistakes are the third leading cause of death in the US. More than accidents, strokes, lung disease and Alzheimer’s.
