My baby is 17mths old and has been on pacifier since 4 mths old. He only uses when he sleeps but I noticed that he is starting to have bugs bunny teeth. Is it because of the pacifier?

The older generations have always said that pacifiers will cause the teeth to grow as such but online articles seems to suggest differently. It is said that thumb sucking or sucking a pacifier (suckafier according to my 7 year old daughter) will not cause any effects on the teeth unless it's prolonged sucking into toddler years. Both my sister and I were given pacifiers and while my sister has perfectly nice set of teeth, mine is just horrible so I don't think pacifiers are the cause of your child's bunny teeth since he only takes his to sleep.
