Should I Have My Tongue Tie Treated with Surgery?

Question

My child is eight years old and still can’t pronounce the rolling tongue sound correctly. When I took him to the hospital at three years old, the doctor said there was nothing wrong.

Answer

Based on your description, your child may be unable to pronounce rolling tongue sounds due to a short tongue tie. I suggest you take your child to a regular children’s hospital for a professional medical examination to confirm the diagnosis. Moreover, as a parent, you should give your child enough care and attention to help them receive timely treatment for any illnesses.
