re: Tongue-tie surgery for young child

My son got his snipped around 2 by an ENT. My daughter has a real bad one, but it's not causing her issues. Dentist said if it doesn't snap on it's own, they will have to snip it at some point.

I’m about to take one of my younger twins (4) to speech therapy right now. The doctor recommended treatment once/week for the rest of the year. I’m hoping it helps because I’d rather her avoid surgery if possible. She has a lisp now, which is adorable but that shite won’t be so cute in 10 years.

Have any of your children or anyone you know had tongue-tie surgery?
Yeah we had to subject our infant to it when he was having issues breast feeding. the "oral surgeon" used a cold laser to make the incisions. He did much better afterwards but you have the stretch the cuts every day to make sure it doesn't grow back. I hated doing it but he is fine now and it helped our situation.

My grandmother cut my sons with her fingernail when he was 2 weeks old.
He was struggling to breastfeed and after that never had a problem

Mine had it done. Not a big deal. Hardly qualifies as a surgery as the kid doesn’t even go under for it. There are a few stretches and stuff in the first couple weeks to make sure it doesn’t latch back.
Make sure you do it with a trusted ENT who does it often. There is a guy outside of Birmingham and it’s all he does. I recommend the trip for it.

Routine thing that is really common, we had our daughters snipped very young. No big deal at all.

How old is the child? Both of my children had it done very early

My nephew had it done this past Monday. In and out, he did fine.

Funny this post is posted today. My sons buddy is 10 or 11. Had the surgery. They moved 5-10 mins away so he got to visit last night. He and my son played on the PS5 forever. I could notice the difference. Slight but there. His mom came to pic him up. The boy reverted?
I’d need a child psychologist to explain to me and to the OP what any of that means. Lol
Best of luck OP.

Our son had it when he was an infant. He couldn't properly latch on when breast feeding. The surgery was no big deal. The scariest part was putting a 2 month old under anesthesia. Back in the day, if a nurse saw a newborn that was toungetied, they would cut it with their fingernails.

I can't remember who it was that told us we needed to look into this for one of our kids. I remember at the time just thinking it was some kind of bullshite money grab and I was apparently right. Today all of our kids speak just fine.
It's that little string under your tongue. You'll hear dentists and speech therapists recommend it from time to time because of course they get a piece of the action.

He would chuck as much as a woodchuck could if a woodchuck could chuck wood.

I do these all the time. They are a quick procedure that usually has no complications or much post op pain for kids.

I’d sure hope a nurse wouldn’t decide to give unsolicited treatment without physician oversight or permission from parents but who knows

Go to a specialist, not just an ENT. I’ve had 2 kids have the surgery done and the ENTs by and large don’t do it correctly.
Easy way to tell if they are well versed in the latest data regarding the procedure is if they give you any post procedure instructions.
If they say you don’t have to do anything after, they don’t know what they are doing.

A woodchuck would chuck as much as a woodchuck could, if a woodchuck could chuck wood.

The kids’ dentist at the time recommended my #3 to have this done when he was about 4 years old.
The pediatrician said no, and the new dentist said no. But then when #3 started kindergarten the teacher said it should be done. So I got a written letter from the pediatrician saying it didn’t need to be done.
If you’re unsure, get a second opinion. #3 is 14 now and he has no speech impediment.
