When should my child stop using a pacifier or sucking his thumb?

Pacifier and thumb-sucking habits should we weaned at an early age. Years of thumb-sucking or pacifier use can in fact cause dental or speech problems. Kids typically stop thumb-sucking on their own as they become more active throughout preschool and beyond.
