When someone tells a mother the baby needs anaesthesia, the mother needs to find someone who knows what he is doing. That's why it is so important that we, as practitioners, find doctors/dentists who we KNOW have proper skills and info and refer our clients to them--so they do not even have to hear this kind of misinformation that creates such confusion for them.>> ************************************************************************* My daughter's best friend when they were growing up was severely tongue tied and had severe malocclusion. At the age of 13 her parents took her to the orthodontist for braces. He took one look at her and said he wouldn't do a thing until the frenulum had been clipped. They went back to her pediatrician who promptly snipped it in the office. Of course, I wanted to hear all about it, but all I got was, "Oh Mrs Barger, it wasn't a big deal. All he did was cut that little piece of skin. Didn't even hurt." Her teeth straightened out on their own, and she never did get braces.
