    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Dentistry
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Pacifier use is linked to three dental concerns: rampant caries, malocclusion, and gingival recession.
    • Sweetening pacifiers is the primary cause of rampant caries, a serious dental issue.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the dental risks associated with pacifier use.
    • To emphasize the need for community dental health education regarding pacifier habits.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing dental literature and clinical observations.
    • Analysis of the relationship between pacifier sweetening and dental pathologies.

    Main Results:

    • Sweetened pacifier use is strongly correlated with rampant caries.
    • Malocclusion and gingival recession are also noted concerns, though less severe than caries.

    Conclusions:

    • Eliminating the practice of sweetening pacifiers is essential for preventing rampant caries.
    • Further research is needed to determine if unsweetened pacifier use can prevent malocclusion associated with digit sucking.
