Has anybody had it or know where I can get it done?

TIA

see your dentist. They should be able to refer you to an oral surgery department. To get treated you need to demonstrate how it affects you. Previous patients I have referred have been treated on the basis that it was making it impossible to perform good oral hygiene measures in the area.

I'd be reluctant to bother tbh. My ds had his tongue tie corrected at age 4 and the tie had caused the muscle in his tongue to not form properly. He doesn't have much, if any, more movement in his tongue after the division.

Thanks both.

I guess I'd be looking to get it done privately because, tbh, it's not a severe tie and my reason for having it done is kind of frivolous (I find French kissing hard work Blush though I'm probably old enough that I should be past worrying about that!).
