You decide to do your own research about it and come across the many things that this condition can cause. However, amidst your browsing, you are likely to read some myths. Here are four common misconceptions and the truth behind them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Myth #1: Tongue-Ties Go Away with Age<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Like their clothes and some toys, many people assume that their child\u2019s tongue-tie will go away as they get older. However, this isn\u2019t the case for this condition. The band of tissue that\u2019s the issue will only persist while they age. This can lead to a myriad of problems, starting from their infancy to their adulthood. Getting it treated now can help avoid them later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Myth #2: This Condition Doesn\u2019t Cause Any Problems<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As was briefly mentioned above, tongue-ties aren&#8217;t entirely harmless. For instance, babies may have difficulty latching. It can lead to poor weight gain, but even to an increased risk of gassiness, painful reflux, and colic. When they start to talk, they may have trouble speaking clearly and get frustrated easily. Even in their adult lives, headaches are more common, but so is jaw pain. These are only a few that your loved one might experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Myth #3: Tongue-Ties Can Stretch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The tissue that&#8217;s connecting your child&#8217;s tongue may seem flexible, but it&#8217;s not enough to allow for proper movement. You might think it&#8217;ll stretch, but the collagen webbing won&#8217;t really give what is needed. To give your child the best shot at avoiding any of the issues above, it&#8217;s important to get it treated sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Myth #4: It\u2019s Best to Cut a Tongue-Tie<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With all that being said, you may want to fix your child\u2019s tongue-tie. You may imagine that simply cutting it is all it takes, but there is a more comfortable option out there. Using surgical tools is a thing of the past because they can cause discomfort or bleeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Advancements in modern dentistry have created a soft tissue laser. These can more effectively release the tie while having a shorter recovery afterward. In fact, parents can breastfeed their little one right after the treatment, and it&#8217;s even recommended. By getting your child&#8217;s tongue-tie fixed, you can help them avoid any problems down the line and keep their growing smile happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gardenoaksfamilydental.com\/about-us.html\">Garden Oaks Family &amp; Cosmetic Dentistry<\/a>, you benefit from the skilled leadership of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gardenoaksfamilydental.com\/meet-dr-ruehle.html\">Dr. Patrick Ruehle<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gardenoaksfamilydental.com\/meet-dr-eide.html\">Dr. Erika Eide<\/a>.
