How can the tongue affect the teeth?
Home Got questions ? How can the tongue affect the teeth?

Tongue's up

The tongue is one of the primary players in swallowing. When babies suckle at the breast or a bottle, they use their tongues to bring the milk back into their throats by passing it between their gums. This is called child swallowing.

Around the age of 3, children usually switch to adult swallowing by placing their tongues against the roof of their mouths to push food down.

In some cases, children do not transition to adult swallowing. If the tongue pushes forward towards the teeth and not against the roof of the mouth, the teeth may be misaligned and the jaws may develop abnormally.
