Pacifier and teeth - when to wean dummy?

2yo loves her dummy for sleep. Dentist said no issues yet but ideally gone by 3. How did you wean?

Cut tiny bit off the end each week. After a few weeks they don't want it.

Dummy fairy. We did it at 2.5 - she put dummies in a bag and 'gave them to babies who needed them'. Got a special toy in return. 3 rough nights.

Cold turkey worked - we did it on holiday so the new environment distracted her.

We waited until 3 and she was much more on board than at 2.
