Tuesday, June 18, 2013 Dental and Oral Health (Children) What
causes a child to constantly chew the inside of his mouth and
how can do you get him to stop? Some children develop a habit of
sucking or biting the soft tissues in their mouths. Treatment
depends on the severity of the problem and the child's age. Have
your child examined by a pediatric dentist. He or she will
diagnose the problem and work with you to develop a plan to
resolve it. Dennis J McTigue, DDS Professor of Pediatric
Dentistry College of Dentistry The Ohio State University
