Hi all,
As a family doc, I've had the privilege of watching my patient 
population of kids grow and adults age over a span of 20 years. I am 
always amazed when I see older teens in the office for various things 
like sore throats, and notice a significant lingual frenulum. I usually 
remember how long my patients breastfed, and I am often amazed at how 
often I see prominent frenulums in kids who never had a problem nursing 
and moms never had problems either. I don't see why the frenulum would 
go away, and I don't believe it does.
