Some babies have to go to the hospital to have their tongue roots cut due to the short tongue system affecting their normal life. So, what subject does a baby choose to have their tongue cut?
Firstly, the frenulum of the tongue is an important organ that helps children speak and chew freely. If abnormalities occur, it can affect a child's eating habits, such as some babies being unable to breastfeed, while others may have a short tongue that makes it difficult to clean up food residues in the mouth. On the other hand, it affects children's pronunciation, which is not conducive to their growth, development, and communication, and can easily lead to psychological disorders in the future.
Secondly, if a child's lingual frenulum is found to have problems, surgical treatment should be performed under the diagnosis of a doctor. If it is confirmed that the tongue root needs to be cut, then treatment should be sought at the dental department of the hospital. Parents can judge by the following symptoms, such as the inability to extend the tongue outward, the inability to reach the upper lip, and the inability to move the tongue freely left and right, which should be taken seriously to avoid delaying the child's condition.
Finally, appropriate surgery can effectively help children improve the problems caused by a short tongue system, allowing their tongue to quickly recover. Parents do not need to worry too much about the risks of surgery, but should seek early treatment. After surgical treatment, parents should encourage their children to practice chewing movements and assist them in correcting pronunciation problems through training.
