I have a pair of dentists (husband & wife) in my area who will evaluate for me (I'm not a doctor & can't diagnos) and have clipped a number of my tounge tied babies (for a reasonable fee). She is a pediatric dental specialist. Met her as a client a few years back. She did a wonderful talk to our professional association. re dental caries, nursing caries, and short frenulums, early & later effects and what the lactation consultant could do.. They use a soft tissue laser on most babies (less likely to grow back together & very little if any bleeding). I have asked their permission to speak to you all on the net and give the full details. I will bring you up to speed as soon as they get back from vacation. Anne Norton-Krawciw RPh, IBCLC Breastfeeding Specialists Inc [log in to unmask]
