At Kinder Smiles Dental Clinic in Wakad, Pune, we provide comprehensive evaluation and treatment for tongue tie (ankyloglossia) and other oral restrictions that can affect feeding, speech, breathing, swallowing, oral development, and facial growth. Our child-friendly, airway-focused approach helps identify functional concerns early and provides effective treatment to support healthy development.
Tongue tie occurs when the small band of tissue (lingual frenulum) beneath the tongue is unusually short, thick, or tight, restricting normal tongue movement. Oral restrictions can also involve the upper lip or cheeks, affecting breastfeeding, chewing, swallowing, speech clarity, oral hygiene, and jaw development.
Our experienced team performs detailed functional assessments and offers advanced Laser Frenectomy with personalized rehabilitation exercises to achieve the best long-term outcomes.
A tongue tie is a condition where the tissue connecting the tongue to the floor of the mouth limits normal tongue mobility. While some children experience only mild restrictions, others may develop feeding challenges, speech concerns, improper swallowing patterns, mouth breathing, poor tongue posture, orthodontic problems, and airway issues.
At Kinder Smiles Dental Clinic, we evaluate not only the appearance of the frenulum but, more importantly, how it affects your child’s oral function and overall development.
Early assessment is essential because tongue tie can significantly affect breastfeeding and infant development. At Kinder Smiles Dental Clinic in Wakad, Pune, our Infant Tongue Tie Assessment focuses on both anatomy and function rather than appearance alone.
Our evaluation includes:
We work closely with parents to determine whether treatment is necessary and recommend the most appropriate care plan.
Older children with tongue tie may experience ongoing functional problems that affect speech, chewing, swallowing, orthodontic treatment, breathing, and oral development.
Our Child Tongue Tie Evaluation includes:
Every evaluation is customized according to the child’s age, symptoms, and developmental needs.
