A short bridle of the tongue in a child is an anomaly that occurs quite often. The bridle, as you know, is called the membrane, which combines the tongue and the bottom of the oral cavity, inhibits the movement of the first and does not allow it to hang freely. With the pathology in question, mobility is very limited, which causes some problems associated with the chewing process and articulation. This is usually solved in early childhood, so that the development of the baby and its vital activity proceed without any discomfort.
As a rule, an anomaly appears even in the period of intrauterine development of the baby. There are several factors that can cause a short frenum of the tongue:- chronic diseases;
- environmentally unfavorable environment;
- injuries of the abdomen;
- intrauterine infections ;
- genetic predisposition;
- infectious diseases of the mother in the first and last trimesters;
- late motherhood (after 40 years).
Diagnosing a short frenum of the tongue in a child is very simple - you can even notice it visually. In the first months of life, it can cause feeding problems. If you notice that the baby takes the breast or the nipple with difficulty (the inactive tongue does not allow him to grasp the mother’s nipple normally), while eating, he constantly throws back his head, cries or characteristically smokes it - these may be the first signs that indicate a problem.
However, a short bridle of the tongue in a child may not cause inconvenience when feeding. However, problems will appear later when the baby begins to learn to talk. Usually at this moment it becomes difficult for him to pronounce some sounds, they are fuzzy.. , : , , .
