Tongue-tie.
Tongue-tie:
This affection consists in an unnatural shortness of the " bridle
of the tongue "-the little band which binds the point of the
tongue to the floor of the mouth. It is usually detected in the
infant by the difficulty which the child experiences in nursing. The
affection is, however, not so common as is generally supposed;
many infants are believed to be troubled in this way whose subsequent history shows that such is not the case. If it be definitely
ascertained that the bridle of the tongue is really too short, the
defect can be easily remedied by snipping this fold of mucous
membrane with the scissors. This is a trivial operation, and yet
must be done with great care, in order to avoid wounding an important artery which runs along the lower part of the tongue.
