What is a Tongue or Lip Tie?
Comprehensive insights from Wisconsin Tongue Tie Institute.
- Challenges with eating and speaking could stem from excessive connective tissue, resulting in restricted lip and tongue mobility.
- Recognized as tongue-ties and lip-ties, these conditions often go undetected. They affect around 10% of children, yet signs are frequently overlooked by both parents and medical professionals.
- In children, the restricted frenulum can disrupt feeding in children, potentially leading to nutritional deficiencies, stunted growth, and speech difficulties in later stages.
- Similarly, adults may endure lifelong struggles with certain foods and speech impediments without understanding the root cause.
- Dr. Chris Peterson chooses to use the Solea laser for frenectomy procedures because of its many advantages over other dental lasers and scissors.
- Solea allows our dentist to do frenectomies gently without general anesthesia and usually with no bleeding, providing a better experience for both the children and their parents.
- As a parent who knows firsthand about the struggles of a tongue tie, he’s now on a mission to make your and your child’s feeding journey more successful and enjoyable.
