For some new mums, navigating the complexity of tongue-ties can be a tricky topic

As an exhausted first-time mum, Galen Elliott says she felt "like her world exploded" when she was told there was a potential problem with her newborn.Ms Elliott was seeing a lactation consultant who pinpointed the issue — Elke had a minor tongue-tie.

Research, which Dr Douglas was involved in, found the rate of claims for Medicare frenotomy items increased from 1.22 per 1,000 people in 2006 to 6.35 per 1,000 in 2016She's concerned parents are being "frightened" by warnings from health professionals that their baby will suffer a range of consequences, including orthodontic problems, snoring and sleep disturbance, if a tongue-tie is not released.

Tongue-tie releases in public hospitals, or those done privately by dentists, are not captured in the Medicare data.There is currently no formal accreditation for health professionals performing tongue-tie releases. Lactation consultants do not have the ability to diagnose a tongue-tie, but can help address breastfeeding difficulties."The truth is, for a lot of understandably desperate and frustrated parents, they're looking for a solution," Ms Cavallaro says.

Dr Silva says if there's uncertainty over what a tongue-tie is and how to diagnose it, there's a risk of over or incorrect diagnosis."In terms of how much it is overdiagnosed, it's impossible to say.issued a rebuttal to ADA's statement, The organisation acknowledged research published in 2020, which found "no significant difference in measures of speech outcomes between groups of children with treated and untreated tongue-ties".
