Comforters have been associated with three areas of concern for the dental profession: rampant caries, malocclusion and gingival recession. The most serious of these, rampant caries, is associated with the practice of sweetening the comforter. Every effort should be made to eliminate this hazard to the dentition by means of dental health education for the community, especially of pregnant and nursing mothers. An open question remains on whether unsweetened dummy sucking should be promoted in order to intercept malocclusions likely to arise from digit sucking.
猖獗性龋齿、错颌畸形和牙龈退缩。其中最严重的猖獗性龋齿与在安抚奶嘴上加糖的做法有关。应尽一切努力通过对社区，尤其是孕妇和哺乳期母亲进行口腔健康教育，消除这种对牙列的危害。关于是否应提倡使用无糖安抚奶嘴以预防可能因吮指导致的错颌畸形，仍然存在一个未解决的问题。
