Case Description
My daughter is 13 and wants to have her tongue clipped. Our insurance won't cover it because it's absolutely unneccesary. She can stick it out past her bottom lip and has never had any speech disorders because of it. Can you give me a brief explaination of what the procedure might be and a rough cost estimate of this? I realize that would vary depending on the oral surgeon, I'm just looking for a ball park figure to see if it's even worth going for a consultation.

Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.
