What Is a Tongue Tie?

A tongue tie is a condition where the strip of tissue beneath the tongue (called the lingual frenulum) is shorter than usual, which restricts the range of motion of the tongue in the mouth. This condition can affect individuals of all ages, but it is often identified in infancy by doctors or dentists.

What Is a Tongue Tie Release Procedure?

A tongue tie release, also known as a frenectomy, is a simple procedure that dentists or doctors can perform. It involves cutting or modifying the frenulum to enhance tongue movement in the mouth. A frenectomy can also be done to address a lip tie where the frenulum connecting the lower or upper lip is too tight. Our dentists use advanced laser technology at our dental office to perform tongue tie releases. Not only is this more comfortable for your child, but it enables our dentists to do this procedure with increased precision so that we can take care of your child’s tongue tie quickly and comfortably.
