A member asked:
If have large tongue and also have tongue thrust disorder. would glossectomy be treatment?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No.: Common causes of tongue thrust include allergies, enlarged tonsils/adenoids, thumb/finger sucking, or a tongue anchored to the floor of the mouth. Heredity, neurological and/or muscular problems may contribute. Have an ENT physician evaluate this and then move toward occupational/physical therapy resources if surgery is not for you.
