Gentle Tongue-Tie Care for Kids
Ankyloglossia, or tongue-tie, affects many infants and young children, potentially interfering with feeding, speech, and oral development. Research indicates that up to 10% of children are born with some degree of tongue-tie, which can make breastfeeding, chewing, and speaking more difficult.
At Victory Smiles Dental Center, our pediatric dental team offers safe and effective tongue-tie treatments. Our quick, gentle procedures help release restrictions and promote healthy oral growth for your child.
What is Tongue-Tie?
Typical Symptoms of Tongue-Tie:
- Challenges with breastfeeding or latching in infants
- Painful or extended feeding sessions for babies
- Speech delays or difficulty pronouncing certain sounds
- Problems with chewing or swallowing as children grow
- Occasional breathing difficulties in some cases
Tongue-Tie Treatment Options
- Fast and Comfortable: Many infants don’t need anesthesia, and when necessary, local anesthesia is used.
- Immediate Improvement: Most babies are able to feed normally right after the procedure.
- Promotes Healthy Development: Early tongue-tie treatment supports proper feeding, speech, and overall oral growth.
