Comprehensive Assessment
Detailed examination of tongue function, oral muscles, airway, feeding history, and symptoms.
A tongue tie (ankyloglossia) is a condition where the thin tissue (lingual frenulum) under the tongue is too short, thick, or tight, limiting normal tongue movement. While some tongue ties cause no problems, others can affect breastfeeding, speech development, swallowing, oral hygiene, facial growth, breathing, sleep, and overall oral function.
At Kinder Smiles Dental Clinic in Wakad, Pune, we provide comprehensive Tongue Tie Assessment & Laser Release using advanced soft tissue laser technology. Our approach focuses not only on releasing the tongue tie but also on improving long-term oral function through careful evaluation, personalized treatment planning, and post-procedure exercises when required.
Whether your baby is struggling with feeding, your child has speech concerns, or an adult experiences tongue restriction, our experienced team offers safe, minimally invasive, and comfortable treatment in a child-friendly environment.
