Perhaps it is time to try a new MD or Pediatric dentist. A child that age
does not need to go under general anest. Dentists perform a frenotomy in
their offices on adults all of the time with a local or nothing at all.
Clipping a tongue tie is really very simple. MDs think nothing of a
circumsion, but make a frenotmy seem like major surgery! There is not
much nerve innervation under the tongue and if done correctly shouldn't
bleed except for a drop.
