Hey Lisa, Quinn is 2.5 he'll be 3 in Feb. He did go to the dentist actually, and the dentist said he did have an over bite which was from the soother. The way I looked at it was the damage was already done, what was one more month going to harm. But DH, took it upon himself and cut his soothers, Quinn did use it all the time, not just for sleep, but "Wow" I didn't realize how much he truly depended on it! He was like he was coming off drugs! I know that sounds harsh but I can't explain it any better way! I think, if you can communicate with them it's much easier, Quinn communicates with actions, and aggression! His speaking, well, it's literally his own language! He is being assessed by the CDC at the end of the month, were praying for a miracle!!! Anyway, the spa sounds wonderful! Definately do that, enjoy!
