Anklyglossia is a condition where the lingual frenum is too short. The frenum is a small cord-like tissue that attaches the front of the tongue to the floor of the mouth.

To correct the condition, a dentist simply applies a small amount of local anesthetic to the area, cuts the frenum, and places a suture to prevent the two severed ends from growing back together.

It is a very easy procedure, and the post-op recovery is very short.
