Tongue Tie and Lip Tie Release in Milpitas
Tongue and lip ties are conditions in which the tissue that connects the tongue or lip to the mouth is too tight or thick, limiting normal movement. These restrictions can affect infants, children, and older kids, and may interfere with feeding, speech development, oral hygiene, and overall oral function.
Common Signs of Tongue and Lip Ties
Tongue and lip ties can affect children in different ways depending on age and severity.
Difficulty breastfeeding or bottle feeding due to poor latch, quick fatigue, or inefficient feeding.
Clicking sounds or frequent breaks during feeding caused by loss of suction.
Excessive drooling or mouth breathing related to limited tongue or lip movement.
Speech delays or unclear speech sounds as communication skills develop.
Limited ability to lift the tongue or flange the upper lip comfortably.
Treatment Options
When treatment is recommended, care is focused on safety, comfort, and improved function. Treatment may include:
A gentle and precise procedure to release restricted tongue or lip tissue, allowing for improved flexibility and movement.
Improved range of motion to support effective feeding, clearer speech development, and healthy oral function.
Quick treatment that is carefully designed to minimize discomfort and reduce stress for your child.
Clear and easy to follow aftercare instructions to support healing and prevent reattachment.
Simple guided exercises to encourage proper movement and help maintain long term results.
