Speech is affected most by permanent teeth. Make sure your child stops using a pacifier as early as possible (under 3 yrs of age) and never let your child suck on a bottle at night. Even thumb-sucking in older children (4-6) can affect tooth placement. If your child seems to have a speech problem, see a speech therapist early. My daughter had a lisp but speech therapy corrected it before she went to kindergarten, age 5.
