A member asked:

What to do if i have a mild tongue tie (ankyloglossia), i want it removed, but i'm scared, help me decide?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need an evaluation: There can be a number of indications for performing a frenectomy or frenulopasty to allow for more movement of the tongue. If you are having speech problems or irritation to the tongue due to the limited movement, you may consider having the surgery. The best advice would be to see your dentist or a dental specialist (periodontist or oral surgeon) for evaluation and treatment if indicated.
