That’s why we’re proud to offer comprehensive tongue tie assessment and treatment services to help you or your child overcome this common condition. Our experienced dental team is dedicated to providing compassionate care and personalized treatment to address your specific needs.

What is Tongue Tie?

Tongue tie, or ankyloglossia, is a condition that occurs when the thin strip of tissue (lingual frenulum) connecting the tongue to the bottom of the mouth is abnormally short or tight. This can restrict the movement of the tongue and interfere with various oral functions, including speaking, eating, and swallowing.

Signs and Symptoms of Tongue Tie:

• Difficulty sticking out the tongue past the lower front teeth
• Trouble lifting the tongue to the upper teeth or roof of the mouth
• Difficulty moving the tongue from side to side
• Challenges with breastfeeding (in infants) such as poor latch or nipple pain for the mother
• Speech difficulties, particularly with articulating certain sounds

Our Tongue Tie Dentistry Services:

At [Dental Practice Name], we offer comprehensive tongue tie assessment and treatment services for patients of all ages. Our process begins with a thorough evaluation of your oral anatomy and functional abilities to determine if tongue tie is present and how it may be impacting your oral health and quality of life.

If treatment is recommended, we offer minimally invasive procedures to release the tongue tie and restore normal tongue function. Depending on the severity of the condition and your individual needs, treatment options may include:

• Frenotomy: A simple procedure where the lingual frenulum is snipped or lasered to release the tongue tie, allowing for improved tongue movement and function.
• Frenuloplasty: A more extensive procedure that involves reshaping or lengthening the lingual frenulum to provide greater freedom of movement for the tongue.

Throughout the treatment process, our experienced dental team will provide personalized care and support to ensure your comfort and satisfaction. We’ll work closely with you to address any concerns and answer any questions you may have about the procedure and recovery process.
