Child development
Children's pronunciation is related to hearing function, language environment, intellectual development, pronunciation degree and other factors. These factors are all completed during the period of 4-8 years old, so it is difficult to predict whether children before 4 years old or under 4 years old will have dysphonia in the future.
The influence of age
Tongue frenulum will also gradually shift backwards with the growth of children's age. Even if the lingual frenulum is too short, it can be improved after training, and most children will not have developmental disorders.
The influence of thinking ability
Five-year-old children already have a certain thinking ability. As long as you patiently explain the benefits of the operation to your child, most children can cooperate with the medical staff to successfully complete the operation.
Advice from medical experts
Excision of lingual frenulum is a corrective operation for patients with abnormal tongue structure and difficulty in pronunciation. Unnecessary cutting operation of the lingual frenulum has no benefits, both physically and psychologically. But don't blindly think that the baby's lisping is cute, just grow up.
Diagnostic needs of professional doctors
Whether the lingual frenulum is too short must be diagnosed by a regular dentist.
