Tongue Tie Release
Tongue tie (ankyloglossia) is a condition in which the thin band of tissue under the tongue (lingual frenulum) is unusually short or tight. This restricts tongue movement and can affect feeding, speech, swallowing, and oral hygiene, especially in infants and children.
Tongue tie release is a simple and safe procedure that improves tongue mobility and related functions.
