4 Things You May Not Know About Tongue Ties

☀️ It’s not just a visual exam. Evaluating a tongue tie goes beyond what we see – it’s all about how your tongue moves and functions.

☀️ The lingual frenum is normal. The frenum underneath your tongue is a natural part of anatomy. It’s only when it’s too tight or short that problems can arise.

☀️ A tongue tie could affect normal tongue movements, making it harder to eat, speak, or even swallow comfortably.

☀️ When it’s problematic... A restrictive frenum can limit the tongue’s movement, leading to issues with speech, feeding, and even dental health.

Wondering if your child might have a problematic tongue tie?
