Patient's question:
Baby was born and noticed a slight fork at the tip. Previous treatment history and effectiveness: None. Regardless of what kind of help: Hello doctor, will it cause any interference in the future?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms you described are typical of ankyloglossia. It is recommended to visit the oral surgery department of a hospital for a minor surgery to correct it and stabilize pronunciation. It is very simple, does not require anesthesia, and simply cutting the frenulum is sufficient. Early surgery is recommended as it will have minimal impact on language development in the future. If surgery is delayed until adulthood, it will require anesthesia, and more importantly, speech may already be unclear. Even after surgery, it will be difficult to correct. Therefore, the earlier the surgery, the better.
