I have referred every age of baby and children as old as 8 (not that it couldn't be later, but haven't had the opportunity) for revision. 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.

The surgeon told her that it was too late at 1 month, and she had to wait to 6 months and do it by general anaesthesia.How is it?Until what age is frenulotomy performed without anaesthetic and as out patient?Is there any risk or worry in babies older than a month?Thanks for any thought you may have.I confess that I have missed the recent discussion on frenulotomy, so I am not sure if this issue has already been addressed.Micaela NotarangeloLLL Leader, Italy             ***********************************************
