The short bridle of tongue is usually diagnosed at early age. Then operation is carried out. It is congenital anomaly of development which can result or bring, for example, in disturbances of diction, to disturbances of an occlusion (to a lesser degree), etc. If in the childhood the bridle for the different reasons was nedosechena it is necessary to carry out operation repeatedly. Procedure at children can be carried out both under a local anesthesia, and under the general or common anaesteziej. Probably, if doctors to you advises to perform operation it is better to follow to their advice or council. If you are in Moscow and you still have doubts, communicate with me to the address of: vic@telemednet. ru

At my girl too a congenital short bridle of tongue. I asked many doctors, whether it is necessary to cut or undercut, basically heard the answer - was not present. If you dochkri does not have problems with diction, then what for this operation?
