Response to Letter Regarding Cordray et al. (2023) and Brief Commentary on the Ankyloglossia Debate
Kummer's letter does not warrant an erratum to our scoping review. However, her letter prompts us to urge the multidisciplinary community of providers involved in studying and caring for patients with ankyloglossia to engage in a collaborative and open-minded discussion. We must reduce professional antagonism around this controversy and work together on patient-centered research to support children whose experiences may not fit the typical clinical picture.
