Don’t let time waste! Some dentists and research may tell
you that there is no reason to jump the gun and have your baby gets laser
surgery for their maxillary frenum, but Dr. Strutz suggests it is important to
take care of it as soon as possible. While your baby is growing and developing,
it is not only critical for their overall health and development to be able to
sleep and eat properly, but once they begin talking a maxillary frenum can
impact their ability to say certain sounds.
Certain sounds when they are made require the tongue to be
in a certain location in the mouth. Some sounds are made at the front of the
mouth, while others are at the back. Another set of sounds requires the tongue
to push up against the teeth to correctly say. If your child has a frenum that
is thick, it can restrict the movement of the tongue.
Once your child enters the age of talking, it is critical
that they receive access to proper language models and are able to properly say
sounds. Children who have speech impairments can be impacted in the long term
in school and may experience depression, school trouble and delays in reading.
