Learn the solutions to your patients biggest problems
Are you a dentist, oral health therapist or speech language pathologist ready to provide effective solutions that you KNOW work and solve your patients biggest problems with ease?
When you aren’t trained in the services that your patients need and want, you could end up losing patients to other practices.
You’re a confident and experienced clinician.
But when you have a child in front of you with a thumb or finger sucking habit….
What if I give the wrong advice?
What if this is just beyond my skills?
I just don't know enough about this.
An Oral Habits Department for YOUR practice
No stress. No fluff. Just results.
Thumb and finger sucking can have major adverse impacts on the growth and development of children’s teeth, mouths and speech development.
Yet so few are trained to successfully help their patients with oral habits.
Well it’s time for you to become the expert in this area by becoming a Thumbsucking Professional.
This is the only evidence-based course of its kind giving you the exact tools and skills you need to assess and treat patients in your own practice!
By the end of this program you will have the skills to:
Offer great dental outcomes for your patients
Grow your patient base and reputation
Help children and families to grow and thrive
Offer a unique service that families REALLY WANT and NEED
The first evidence-based course in the treatment of oral habits.
Our research was published by the International Dental Journal, (IDJ) which is the FDI World Dental Federation’s primary scientific publication.
In our collaboration with James Cook University, we found that not only did our programs successfully stop thumb and finger sucking habits in 90% of patients, there was also a significant decrease in anterior open bite and overjet after 3 months of treatment.

Understand Elements that contribute to digit sucking behaviour and why they continue
Assess Your Patients & design, build & implement individualised treatment plans
Confidently Treat pacifier, thumb & finger sucking behaviours in your practice
In this course, you'll learn how!
Hi, I'm Carla.....
Behaviour-shaping and positive reinforcement is recommended by the American Dental Association for the management of cessation of digit sucking in children (ADA, 2007)…..
…..yet most allied health professionals have little to no training in this area.
Since 2010, I’ve treated hundreds of children, including my own two thumb sucking children, with my oral habits program at my dedicated practice, Thumbsucking Clinic in Queensland, Australia.
Our programs were published in WHO’s premier dental journal, The International Dental Journal, in 2015, showing the efficacy of my program and also its success in closing open bite and over-jet.
I want to teach YOU how to do exactly what I do in your practice to help your patients.
I want you to become the expert.
I know this, because I am a dental professional AND the mother of, not one, but two thumb sucking children.
Since 2010, I’ve treated hundreds of children with my oral habits program at my dedicated practice, Thumbsucking Clinic in Queensland, Australia.
Through clinical experience, I’ve developed different techniques and assessment tools to enhance the Thumbsucking Clinic assessment protocol and program and help kids successfully change their habits…..
Questions you might still be wondering about
The course is over 8 modules and each course intake I have a dedicated online Q and A with delegates which is weekly.
Can’t make a coaching session? No worries! Our sessions are recorded for you to watch in your own time if you need to!
Give yourself 2-3 hours each week to watch the videos and go through the readings and PDFs that are supplied.
But if that’s too hard, no sweat. You’ll have access to the course for the next 12 months if you fall behind or if you want to revisit any of the material at any time.
I don’t want you to reinvent the wheel!
I have fact sheets, articles, PDFs of protocols as well as all the assessment forms, resources, videos, guides and paperwork required for you to get started in your own practice.
Everything I used to build my own successful practice of 10 years, Thumbsucking Clinic, is yours.
What if I'm not a Health professional?
Sorry. Our courses are designed for health professionals who are seeing patients only.

Its important to me that this is a right fit for you and what you’re doing so let’s chat!
