The Impact of Tongue-Ties on Children
As a parent, I can totally understand why its difficult to decide that a frenectomy is needed for your child. We don’t want to cause them pain. We don’t want to address the lisp that Johnny has. We just want to love them “as is”.
But, once you understand the impact of tongue-ties on children, I hope you change your mind. YOUR decisions today might save your child from a host of concerns later. I’m not talking vanity here either, I’m talking craniofacial growth, adequate airway and facial development, room for all the teeth and more.
If there ever was a time that I feel like I’m willing to beg…here it is. I am going to put it out there in the universe that I’m willing to beg parents to please treat your child’s tongue-tie.
After the video……if you still have questions about the impact of a tongue-tie on your child, I would suggest that you get an exam with a myofunctional therapist!
If you want to screen your child first, before seeing me….I’m good with that. Get my FREE assessment tool and walk yourself through the questions. I’m happy to email it to you. Just check out the box at the bottom of this post, and its yours! It might help you determine if you have a tongue-tie, and what you should do about it.
If You Have Other Concerns
By now you should feel like this stuff is very important to me. This is why I do what I do. This is why I feel so passionate about educating people. I seize every opportunity to make a difference, and that includes helping YOU figure out how to afford myofunctional therapy. Don’t let another year, month, day, or hour go by that you don’t consider the serious consequences of ignoring myofunctional impairment. At a minimum, schedule a free 30 minute assessment with me so we can visit about your concerns.
