Lingual frenotomy is often performed on newborns and neonates with tongue-tie to enable them to latch and suckle. Lingual frenotomy is sometimes referred to as "tongue clipping". It is done with a local anaesthetic.

As there is no specific category for tongue clipping, this is where I shall write about it. In my family, my siblings, myself, my son, and his son were all born tongue tied. This just means that the largest salivary gland, under the tongue is not loose enough to allow language to develop in the normal way for the child.

StorkNet's Breastfeeding Cubby ... Even though clipping the frenulum is a simple, safe, and uncomplicated procedure, it may be difficult to find a doctor who is willing to perform it. The history of treating tongue-tie is somewhat controversial. Up until the nineteenth century, baby's frenulums were clipped almost routinely.

I just got a referral from a teacher about a student who had "tongue clipping" surgery when the child was little. I am not familiair with this type of surgery (not sure what is the medical terminology for it). The teacher said that the child did not speak until after the surgery (2 yrs old).

For this reason it is pretty rare to see a baby undergo a "frenulotomy" (tongue clipping). I certainly would not recommend it without consultation with a pediatric ear-nose-throat specialist and perhaps a speech pathologist.

First, she recommended that we take Laura to our pediatrician for his advice on her tongue-tie. We went later that same day, but the doctor didn't feel her condition was severe enough to warrant clipping the frenulum.

Early in fetal development, the tongue is attached to the floor of the mouth. With cell death and atrophy, the only attachment is the frenulum. Tongue-tie results when the frenulum is...
