The causes of tongue rolling can be divided into congenital and acquired factors. If a patient has exhibited tongue rolling since childhood, they should go directly to the stomatology department of a正规 hospital to have the lingual frenulum clipped; however, please note that treatment must be performed as soon as possible. Otherwise, it may adversely affect the child's language development. If the tongue rolling suddenly appears later in life, it is usually associated with brain or cranial injury.
