Many doctors, dentists, and lactation consultants recommend treating tongue-tie as soon as possible, sometimes even before a newborn is discharged from the hospital. Other professionals want to wait to see whether the condition becomes problematic at all, as sometimes it doesn’t become very problematic. A lactation consultant can help in some cases in which breastfeeding is affected, while a speech-language pathologist can help in some cases in which speech is affected, but often the best treatment is surgery, as it can fix the issue entirely and correct the many problems it causes. You may appreciate a consultation with and the perspective of a dentist like Dr. Cory Nguyen DDS.
