Incidence of oral tie diagnosis and treatment in Southwestern Ontario: A survey study
The rate of tongue tie diagnosis in survey respondents was more than double the national rate (22.6 %), possibly representing over diagnosis or overtreatment in Southwestern Ontario. Public health and education efforts may be required to ensure patients are appropriately selected for frenotomy procedures, to limit adverse outcomes and cost to patients.
