FAQ
tongue tie, or ankyloglossia, is a condition present at birth where the tissue connecting the tongue to the floor of the mouth is unusually tight or short. This can restrict the movement of the tongue, potentially causing difficulties with speech, feeding, and oral hygiene.
Common signs and symptoms of a tongue tie include difficulty sticking out the tongue, trouble breastfeeding or bottle-feeding, speech difficulties, and challenges with oral hygiene such as difficulty brushing teeth or clearing food from the mouth.
Tongue tie correction typically involves a minor surgical procedure called a frenectomy or frenotomy. During this procedure, the tissue connecting the tongue to the floor of the mouth is carefully released, allowing for improved range of motion and function of the tongue.
While some discomfort may be experienced during and after the procedure, our clinic prioritizes patient comfort and uses appropriate anesthesia to minimize any pain or discomfort. Additionally, post-operative care instructions are provided to manage discomfort and promote healing effectively.
