My eldest daughter had a lisp until she was about 9. I was like you and worried about it, had her tested, looked for help. It was our dentist that gave us the best advice. He said not to panic until she had about half of her adult teeth through. The whole shape of her mouth would change and so too would the way she could pronounce letters, particularly the ones where you have to put your tongue against your teeth or the roof of your mouth(like T, S and R) or use your lips (like F). He was right. She had tiny teeth and a fat tongue and just couldn't make the noises until she had a bigger jaw and some tombstone teeth at the front.

My YD has a problem with S. It made her sound childish when she was younger but now at age 24 after the first day of working together they don't even hear it anymore.
