I have a 5yo nephew whose dentist recently rec lingual frenum sx.  History is insignificant for any speech, feeding, or swallowing issues.  I can't think of a reason to proceed with sx.  Does anyone have any insight?  Is this type of procedure currently commonly being rec?  I thought some years ago they had stopped doing these?
