A tongue tie, or ankyloglossia, is a condition in which the frenulum, the small fold of tissue that connects the tongue to the floor of the mouth, is too short or tight. This can restrict the movement of the tongue and cause a variety of issues, including difficulty with breastfeeding, speech problems, and oral hygiene issues. At our dental clinic, we offer comprehensive evaluation and treatment for tongue ties. Depending on the severity of the condition, treatment may involve a simple frenectomy procedure, in which the frenulum is clipped or removed to allow for greater mobility of the tongue. This procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia and is relatively quick and painless. After the procedure, patients may experience some mild discomfort or swelling, but this can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers and cold compresses. Our team of experienced dentists will work closely with you to determine if a frenectomy is the right treatment option for your specific needs and ensure that you receive the highest quality of care.
