I Am 17 Years Old And I Am Tongue Tied. If I Have A Frenectomy Will There Be A Chance My Speech Will Get Worse?

Thursday, May 29th, 2014
Q.

Hello Mark, I wonder if you can help me. I am 17 years old, my problem is not with teeth but with my tongue so please help me if possible.
I have Ankyloglossia – tongue tie and it creates a lot of problems while speaking. This is because the frenum limits the movement of my tongue. So I am considering undergoing a frenectomy.
Do you know of any cases where the speech has deteriorated or worsened after a frenectomy? That’s the only thing I am worried about. I don’t want my speech to be further worsened.
Thank you for your reply in advance.

Why has my bridge turned grey?

Friday, February 17th, 2012
Q.

I have a 5 teeth porcelain bridge that is turning grey every month even after being polished. I have had this in with temp cement for approx 9 months as I wasn’t 100 percent happy with teeth. Why is the colour going grey? I also had my upper frenum shortened 1 year ago as it was pulled to one side but not under my teeth I thought this was best to rectify but did now know that it is a tissue that holds the top lip down. I was horrified after procedure to find my top lip felt loose and moves about when I talk. I had to have more porcelain added to my teeth to give my lip support. Can this frenum be replaced again or will my top lip begin to droop? I would like to have implants buts could never afford to have this treatment. My worst fear is I will loose my bridges and have to have false plate which I could not cope with.
