Answers:
What to do is get a mouth guard (you can buy them cheap from sports shops for like a pound) and put it in before you go to sleep at night, it'll be impossible for you to suck your thumb with that in! I used it when I was grinding my teeth in my sleep and it worked wonders, I don't need to use it anymore!. If you keep using it for a few weeks, you'll get out of the habit of doing it, then you can throw away the mouth guard as well!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

use hand santizer on your hands b4 bed ( the stuff i bought tasted badd) then you wont want that in your mouth!. also try and sleep holding onto something like a teddy bear or blanket so your hands are busy while you sleep!. and dont put your hands around your face cause this will make it more tempting Www@Answer-Health@Com

thats not embaressing - iv seen adults that still do it!.
dont tell anyone at school though cos theyll probably just slag cos they are too immature to understand

maybe switch to lollipops!?!?!? or pencils!?!?!? just think of something else to distract you!.

but sucking pencils is probably not good for youWww@Answer-Health@Com

i sucked a dummy until i was 6! try getting a security blanket or a teddy bear and cuddle them insted =] it will eventually work! also try and put something disgusting on you thumb then you wont want to =]Www@Answer-Health@Com
