Sawbones: Tongue Ties

Sawbones: Tongue Ties

By Justin McElroy, Dr. Sydnee McElroy

A tongue tie is not just a turn of phrase, it's a medical condition in which the frenulum under your tongue is too thick and restricts your lingual movement. For a long time, a procedure to cut it has been done as a solution to some breastfeeding woes. But should it be? Dr. Sydnee and Justin talk about the history of this procedure and the medical field's view on it today.
