Many parents try reminders, rewards, or asking their child to “just stop,” but oral habits like thumb sucking or nail biting rarely disappear with willpower alone.

I created a Free Habit Readiness Checklist to help parents determine whether their child is ready to eliminate the habit successfully.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, this resource can help bring clarity.

If your child sucks their thumb, uses a pacifier beyond toddler years, or has a long-standing oral habit, you may be wondering: • “Will they just outgrow it?” • “Is it really affecting their speech?” • “Should we wait?”These are incredibly common questions — and you are not alone...

We’ve had many families reach out seeking myofunctional therapy — especially as they prepare for or recover from a frenectomy.

One thing we believe in at Salt & Light is transparency.

Myofunctional therapy is often considered private pay. (I created an Instagram Reel with more details.)
But instead of letting that be a barrier, we created structured package options designed to:

• Support proper oral rest posture
• Improve nasal breathing
• Address swallowing patterns
• Strengthen tongue mobility and coordination
• Provide a clear progression (not random exercises)

We also offer in-office payment plans and financing through Affirm to make care more accessible for families who are ready to invest in long-term functional change.

This isn’t a quick fix.
It’s a guided, evidence-based process.

And we’re honored to walk it with you.
