Tongue tie (ankyloglossia) is a condition where the tissue under the tongue is too tight, limiting movement. This can affect breastfeeding, speech, eating, and oral hygiene. Often diagnosed in infants, tongue tie can also persist into childhood or adulthood, causing ongoing issues.
At Adda Dental, we offer expert evaluation and treatment for tongue tie, helping improve function and quality of life.

Why Tongue Tie Need to be Treated?
Untreated tongue tie can lead to a variety of challenges, including difficulty breastfeeding, trouble with speech development, and problems with eating or oral hygiene. In children, it may also cause issues with proper dental alignment or contribute to speech delays. For adults, tongue tie can lead to chronic pain, such as jaw discomfort, and hinder certain activities like swallowing and speaking clearly.
Treating tongue tie early can prevent these issues, improve oral function, and promote better overall health and comfort.
In infants, tongue tie often presents as difficulty latching during breastfeeding, which can lead to poor feeding, pain for the mother, and slow weight gain for the baby.
In older children and adults, the effects of tongue tie may not be as immediately obvious, but they can manifest as:
Speech issues, such as difficulty pronouncing certain sounds.
Problems with swallowing or chewing, especially certain foods.
Dental issues, including misalignment or cavities due to trouble cleaning teeth properly.
Chronic discomfort in the jaw, neck, or face, often due to strain from limited tongue movement.
