What are the 1 and simple local anesthesia in lingual frenulum correction?
Scissors, electrotome or laser cut the abnormal lingual frenulum, which is generally not sutured. This method is suitable for children with thin lingual frenum, and there is not much bleeding after incision, and the wound is not easy to adhere. It's simple. However, it should be noted that the surgical effect of some children may be slightly poor, and may not fully reach the normal level, and may require a second operation.
2. Complex local anesthesia:
Generally, children over the age of 6 can cooperate. After cutting the lingual frenulum, suture is needed to reduce the chance of wound adhesion. Advantages: Local anesthesia has a good effect, but it needs to be carried out with the cooperation of children.

For children who cannot cooperate with the operation and need to suture the wound, one operation can basically achieve satisfactory results. However, it requires hospitalization and the cost of surgery is relatively high.
At present, there is no unified view in the medical field on the short operation age of lingual frenulum. Most parents think that the operation of lingual frenulum is short and should be completed before the age of 6.
