Tongue tie
I am a mother of a 3month old baby boy who has a tongue tie. Am looking for doctor who could help release the tie under local anesthesia. I have consulted pediatric surgeon and they are willing to do it with General anesthesia which we are not comfortable. Really appreciate if you could suggest a doctor _ ent or a pediatrician who can do it with laser . Many Thanks.

Tongue tie release is difficult to do in a local anaesthesia.. better to get in GA.
