Your pediatrician should examine you and decide what the next step which depends on your symptoms. Some children have this condition but do fine without treatment.

Ankyloglossia is usually treated at birth with a simple clip. If untreated can cause or contribute to speech, swallowing, periodontal, and/or upper jaw developmental problems. Seek evaluation by an Oral Surgeon.
