The Wall Street Journal recently reported that NUK and Gerber Graduates, two major companies in the children’s products industry, are developing items that are meant to improve the development of children and their oral health.

One of the items they’ve released is a pacifier that is geared towards proper oral development. Many pediatric dentists believe the wrong childhood pacifier can lead to complications in the future regarding that child’s oral health. Many pediatric dentists also believe that the wrong childhood pacifier could be the reason why the child needs braces in the future!

NUK sells pacifiers that assist in strengthening jaw muscle and allows babies to move their tongues in a greater range of motion.

What kind of pacifier does your child use? Did your child develop complications from using the wrong pacifier? Let us know on our Facebook page linked HERE
