Introduction, novice parents are worried that their baby will talk later than others. Worried that the child has some pronunciation problems. In the parenting world, there is a saying that if a baby wants to say something nice, he must cut off the root of his tongue. Many parents believe it. This article will introduce some little knowledge about tongue cutting to your precious mothers.

1. What does it mean to cut the root of the tongue?

The official name of tongue root amputation in medicine is lingual frenulum correction. Simply put, it is to cut off the tongue strap with scissors to help the baby pronounce better. When the baby's tongue is too short, it will affect pronunciation, breastfeeding and oral development.

Second, why do you want to cut the tongue root for your baby?

We often say that tongue cutting is to correct and protect the baby's tongue belt, and help correct the baby's tongue belt problem through surgical techniques, so that the baby can pronounce normally. The baby is stumbling and can go to the hospital for tongue root amputation. However, parents often can't correctly distinguish the war of words. If they think the child's tongue shape is different, they can consult a doctor before making a decision to avoid mistaking other diseases for tongue behavior. There are many reasons why the baby's pronunciation is abnormal. Parents should not think that it is all caused by not cutting the root of the tongue. Tongue root amputation is not as early as possible. Premature surgery will have a certain impact on children's mental health, and it will also have some disadvantages to their physical health.

Third, not all babies need to cut the root of their tongue.

Studies have shown that with the growth of the baby's age and the movement of the tongue, the lingual frenulum will gradually relax and retract, and the lingual frenulum can adjust itself with the development of time, so there is no need to rush to the operation of cutting the tongue root when the baby's mouth is fragile. If parents give their baby tongue root amputation just because of the baby's pronunciation problem, then all the operations have certain risks, and there will be some complications in tongue root amputation. It is easy to have wound infection and swelling. If the recovery is not good, it will affect the activity and speech of the tongue. Parents need to find out the problems in the baby's development in time, and then decide whether to cut the tongue root for the baby after the judgment of a professional doctor.
