    Understanding Tongue Tie (Ankyloglossia)

    Tongue tie, or ankyloglossia, is a condition where the band of tissue connecting the tongue to the floor of the mouth is shorter than usual, limiting tongue movement. This can lead to difficulties in breastfeeding, speech issues, and oral hygiene. Our tongue tie surgery is designed to release this restriction and improve function.

    Why Choose Tongue Tie Surgery?

    Tongue tie surgery offers several benefits, including:

    • Improved Feeding: For infants, release of the tongue can enhance breastfeeding and feeding techniques.
    • Enhanced Speech Development: Correcting tongue tie can help improve articulation and clarity of speech in children.
    • Better Oral Hygiene: Increased tongue mobility aids in maintaining oral health by allowing proper cleaning of the mouth.
    • Quality of Life: Relief from associated challenges can lead to overall improved well-being and confidence.
