Seeking Lingual Frenectomy from ENT

Hi Lori,

I wanted to update you since you had asked for it.

I did follow through with the consult and she said I was tongue-tied. Unlike looking at a heart shaped tongue, they measured the range I was capable of when deciding if I was tongue-tied or not. I am still going through Myofunctional therapy, but have had the Lingual Frenectomy (after ~2 months of therapy) and the results turned out good! I can do things with my tongue I could not before -- like clean the back of my teeth and moving my tongue from one side of my mouth to another is way less constricted.

Thank you again for your encouragement to continue to look for quality professionals.

Hi Daniel! Wow, thank you for the update! I’m so happy for you…all that perseverance paid off! 🙃
I can’t imagine not having a full range of tongue movement that most of us take for granted. Just mentioning it had me checking with my tongue, of course. LOL. Having the frenectomy has made such a difference for you now. Thankfully there was a dentist who finally took you seriously and helped make this improvement to your life. Adding the myofunctional therapy was going the extra mile…she’s very professional and thoughtful. Thanks again for letting me know how this turned out for you!

Just curious, who did the frenectomy for you? Were you referred to an oral surgeon or was this done by the dentist?
