Patient's question:
Large, the baby's tongue does not have a tip, will there be problems with speaking in the future, is this a sign of a thick tongue? Through what treatment can the baby's tongue have a tip? It is best not to take medicine. What is the reason why the child's tongue does not have a tip?Doctor's answer:
The indication for surgical correction of an abnormally short frenulum is when the tongue cannot extend to the upper lip and there is a depression at the base of the tongue (a slightly short frenulum does not require treatment). The surgery is very simple, does not require anesthesia, and involves cutting the frenulum. Early surgery has little impact on future language development. If surgery is performed later in life, on the other hand, anesthesia is required, and more importantly, speech may already be unclear. Even with surgery, it may be difficult to correct, so the earlier the surgery, the better. Generally, it's around this age, and it's hard to notice too early. The above advice is for the question "Why doesn't my baby's tongue have a tip?" and I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
