[|Human|] My duaghter is 8 years old and her tongue is stuck to the bottom of her mouth. I think its refered to as tongue tied . She is batling to pronounce th an t sounds and she cant really stick her tongue far out. Is corective surgery possible and is it risky in any way?
[|AI|]  Hello, I can understand your concern. Tongue tie is a condition present in many infants since birth. To correct the situation, surgery is advised and is necessary. She might also have to go for speech therapy after the surgery is complete. There are no big risks involved in the procedure and the procedure is done by either a plastic surgeon or an oral and maxillofacial surgeon. I would also advise you consult one of these specialists. I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing Chat Doctor. I wish your daughter feels better soon. Best,
