Hello doctor,
My daughter was recently told by her dentist she has tongue tie (ankyloglossia). She has never felt discomfort from it and it has never caused her to have any issues. Is it mandatory she gets it removed?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern about your daughter.
Tongue tie is an anatomical defect that means if it hinders in speech, eating, swallowing or there are many carious teeth in the mouth it has to be corrected. In case there is no problem, there is no need to relieve it. Also, there is nothing to remove, a small cut is enough to relieve it. If you face a further problem or need more accurate suggestions, upload certain photos, from different angles. I will provide you a better opinion. According to your description, I think she does not need.
