Hi all,
This isn't really a breastfeeding question but I thought I would find knowledgable people on here.
DS was born with a tongue tie which was snipped at 3 weeks, and a significant lip tie, it is quite thick and blanches when I pull up his lip.
It never stopped us breastfeeding because he has a big squishy top lip with lots of movement in it.
He is now 10.5m and his top teeth have come through either side of the tie so have a 3mm gap between them. He also looks like he has quite an overbite but I don't know if this is related. Ds hates having his top teeth cleaned and I worry brushing the frenulum is hurting him.
I mentioned this lip tie to the GP and he just said "oh that's fine" which made me think he had no idea what I was talking about.
What are the possible risks associated with the tie and what will happen with ds's teeth in the future ? Will the dentist do anything?
