Pacifier vs. thumb sucking

Ma

My LO (14 months) sucks her thumb all.of.the.time. She never liked a pacifier but has shown interest in it lately (she has a wubbanub in her toy box and will suck on it when she finds it). We’d like her to stop ducking her thumb by 2 and I’m wondering if we gave her a pacifier if it would help at all or just start a new habit. Which is better for teeth? That’s my biggest concern. Thanks!
