Tongue-tie

I have tongue-tie and I see both dentists and ENT specialists deal with the problem. I need to have it released, please advise if it's better to consult an ENT or a doctor? Also a ballpark figure for the laser based release procedure.

What is the main problem you are facing? Are there any speech difficulty? If not, surgery might not be needed at your age unless there are social issues. If at all needed you can consult an oral surgeon(DENTIST) who can do the procedure under local anesthesia. Treatment cost can be anywhere between 10 to 15k. Similar charges for LASER.
