How to deal with ankyloglossia in a 3-year-old baby?

Patient's question:

The child has been experiencing this situation for a long time, and I am very concerned. The 3-year-old baby does not have a frenulum linguae. Please ask the doctor for help.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if a three-year-old baby can only call "Mom," it's not being mute, but rather delayed language development.
Hello, you should only go to the dental department for an examination. Based on the results of the symptomatic treatment, the key is to interact more with the baby verbally and physically to promote language development. It is recommended to conduct a comprehensive examination for the child, including hearing screening, intelligence assessment, language assessment, and dental examination! After the comprehensive examination, identify the cause and provide targeted training based on the results! In addition, parents should engage in more communication with the child at home, express themselves more, and encourage the child to speak more!
