Tongue tie occurs when the tissue connecting the tongue to the floor of the mouth is unusually short or tight, restricting tongue movement. This can lead to challenges with breastfeeding, eating, and speech.
Not every tongue tie requires treatment. At ASAL, we carefully assess tongue function, tone, and coordination to determine whether intervention is needed. When appropriate, we perform a laser functional frenectomy — a precise approach that goes beyond simply cutting the tissue, ensuring proper release while strengthening tongue tone for lasting results.
✨If you suspect tongue tie is affecting feeding or speech, early assessment is key — book a consultation today.
