hey just a quick one, is it poss to have my frenum cut without getting a lisp or speech impedement?
Possible is a sticky wicket.
Yes. It’s possible. It’s also possible to get your tongue split with no affects to your speech- but it’s also possible that you’ll thound like thith. There’s really no way to guarantee it 100%.
is it probable?
Again- yes. It’s probable that you’re speech will totally unaffected by having the lingual frenulum cut. Ankyloglossia (being “tongue tied”) is common enough that performing a frenotomy (though unpopular in some circles) is a medically approved option that carries with it the hope of untethered movement of the tongue and improved speech.

I had mine done and if anything the extra movement (I was a little tongue tied) makes saying certain letters and whatnot easier
Casey on May 12th, 2008 at 9:54 pmDid an oral surgeon do it for you? I’m tongue tied as well and I’m thinking of it as I’ll have to have my wisdom teeth removed in the summer anyway.
Babysitter on May 14th, 2008 at 6:50 amI mentioned at a regular visit to the dentist and they did it in house. I know that they can take out wisdom teeth there so they might have other specialties I don’t know about.
