Where is the lingual frenulum located?

The lingual frenulum is found in the mouth under the tongue. Sometimes this is very short and a person has trouble with the tongue movements and with speaking. This problem has been given the name 'tongue tied'. It can be cut and will allow the tongue to move as it should.Although there is still an ingrained reluctance to recommend surgery. As a result, there are many children who undergo several years of speech therapy with little or no improvement until the tongue tie is detected (often, by chance) and remedied.


Where is the Human Tongue located?

The four basic kinds of tastes are: sweet, salty, sour and bitter. The salty/sweet taste buds are located near the front of the tongue; the sour taste buds line the sides of the tongue; and the bitter taste buds are found at the very back of the tongue. The center of the tongue has few taste buds. Babies have more taste buds than older children and adults. Not only do babies have taste buds on the tongue, but also on the sides and roof of the mouth. Taste buds disappear from the sides and roof of the mouth as a baby gets older, leaving taste buds mostly on the tongue.
