"What is Tongue Tied?" featuring Dr. Stewart (TongueTieMD)

"When it's too short or too thick and doesn't allow mobility, that's the problem." Doctor Stewart, Otorhinolaryngologist-in-chief at New York Presbyterian Hospital, explains just what the rare condition known as tongue tie is.

Just curious, so after you have this surgery done, will you be able to talk and eat like normal straight afterwards? or will you have to wait a while until its healed?

I was just wondering if my tongue is tied.

Basically I've always had difficulty saying 'z' and 't' sounds. Also, people normally have pointy-kinda tongues, however mine roud back from either side into a crease in the middle. It's hard to describe but my friends call it my 'bum tongue' or 'heart tongue'. Also, I can't stick my tongue out at all or that little bit underneath hurts.

Sorry if my description isn't any good... :s
