A tongue tie can affect more than just speech. 👅
Also known as ankyloglossia, a tongue tie restricts the tongue’s natural range of motion and can affect how a child eats, speaks, breathes, sleeps, and develops.
Signs can include mouth breathing, snoring, difficulty pronouncing certain sounds, trouble swallowing, excessive drooling, or even changes in jaw and dental development.
At Glen Park Dental, Dr. Kimberlee Dickerson evaluates and treats tongue ties in children, including laser frenectomy and myofunctional therapy when appropriate.
For families looking for tongue tie treatment, frenectomy, or myofunctional therapy in San Francisco and Marin County, we’re here to help.
