A member asked:
Could a gp cut your tongue tie for you?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
He or she could: Ankyloglossia or "tongue tied" is a condition that can be treated by a general dentist, dental specialist, or physician (if he or she feels comfortable in performing the procedure). The procedure to release the frenum is referred to as a frenectomy or frenuloplasty and can be performed under local anesthesia.
