Lip and tongue tie revisions are gentle procedures designed to release restrictive oral tissue that may interfere with feeding, speech, breathing, and proper oral development.
A lingual frenectomy is a gentle procedure designed to release restricted tissue under the tongue, improving mobility and supporting proper oral function. This treatment can help address tongue ties that may affect comfort, feeding, speech, and overall oral health.
Lip and tongue ties occur when restrictive tissue limits the natural movement of the lips or tongue, potentially affecting feeding, speech development, oral hygiene, and overall comfort. Lip and tongue tie revisions are performed to safely release this tissue, allowing for improved mobility and function. At Fort Loramie Dental Center, we carefully evaluate each patient to determine if treatment is appropriate and provide compassionate care focused on long-term oral health, comfort, and quality of life.
