Tongue Tie Release for Newborn and Adults

Supremia Dentistry is off-the-charts amazing. I went in for a routine cleaning and a consult about my TMJ/TMD. Dr. Suh and his staff were completely engaged with me, spent time answering my questions, and the overall energy in the office is very positive and warm. The conversations we had around my TMJ/TMD were extremely honest - I didn't feel "sold to" - and I was impressed with Dr. Suh's insights as he looked at my pictures. He basically told me my life story (regarding my teeth) by looking at my pictures. Because of Dr. Suh's perspective that "everything is connected" I left feeling hopeful because he digs deeper than just the "Oh, you grind your teeth, let's give you a mouth guard" to find root cause. It's apparent Dr. Suh challenges the historical standard answers and seeks deep understanding to inform his approach to dentistry. It's also apparent that he invests in his team and his practice. I highly recommend.

With cutting-edge technology and extensive expertise, we’re here to guide you through the regaining of oral function and living without the constraints of a tongue tie.

Understanding Tongue Ties: A Constraint on Comfort

A tongue tie, medically known as ankyloglossia, is a condition where the thin tissue beneath the tongue, called the frenulum, is unusually tight or short. This restricts the tongue’s natural range of motion, potentially leading to challenges in activities like breast and bottle feeding, eating solid foods, speech articulation, and maintaining optimal oral hygiene.

Both newborns and adults can be affected by a tongue tie, experiencing various discomfort and functional difficulties.

Tongue Ties in Newborns

A tongue tie is more than a mere inconvenience for newborns. It can become a major obstacle while feeding, either while nursing or taking a bottle. The restricted tongue movement makes latching and the sucking motion difficult, leading to discomfort for the infant, as well as the mother if nursing. Beyond feeding, it can trigger colic and sleep disturbances, impacting the well-being of the baby.

Addressing tongue ties in newborns is pivotal for their overall well-being. Interventions such as tongue tie release can alleviate the challenges posed by ankyloglossia, facilitating a more comfortable and successful feeding experience.

By effectively addressing the tight or shortened frenulum, healthcare providers can contribute to newborns optimal growth and development.

Tongue Ties in Adults

Tongue ties are not limited to babies. Adults, too, can face its effects. The implications of tongue ties in adults primarily revolve around speech and oral hygiene.

In individuals with ankyloglossia, the restricted range of tongue motion can lead to difficulties in enunciating certain words and sounds. This can affect the clarity and effectiveness of communication, potentially influencing both personal and professional interactions.

Furthermore, tongue ties can impact oral hygiene practices in ways that might not be immediately apparent. An individual with ankyloglossia may be more prone to plaque buildup, cavities, and gum diseases, hence the importance of addressing tongue ties for comprehensive oral care.

The Tongue Tie Release Procedure

The solution lies in tongue tie release, a precise procedure that liberates the tongue’s movement. This minor yet transformative process involves gently snipping the frenulum.
