According to Martha Ann Keels, DDS, PhD and Division Chief at the Department of Pediatric Dentistry at Duke University, the answer is no.
During the first year of life, 0-12 months, neither sucking on pacifiers nor pacifier use have been shown to negatively impact dental development. The problem does arise when the baby continues to use a pacifier into their second and third years or even longer in some cases.
She quotes: "After age 1 when pediatric dentists start to see children with non-nutritive sucking habits, we are watching the frequency, duration, and intensity of the habit, to follow its effect on the developing bite." The Nuby orthodontic gel pacifiers are a great first choice.
The bottom line is that pacifier use is encouraged in the prevention of SIDS, especially for the first year. If the studies are indicating that it doesn't hurt to give your baby a pacifier then there should be no reason not to try one. Each parent has to decide for him or herself if baby pacifiers are right for their family and baby.
