What is Tongue Tie (Ankyloglossia) and Why Should It Be Treated?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The thin mucous membrane that connects the underside of our tongue to the floor of our mouth is called the "frenulum." If this membrane becomes shorter, thicker, or remains attached to the very tip of the tongue while the baby is developing in the womb, it is called "tongue tie (ankyloglossia)." A baby with tongue tie cannot extend their tongue sufficiently and lift it towards their palate. This restriction causes the newborn to have difficulty latching onto the nipple properly, become tired while breastfeeding, and experience severe nipple sores (pain) for the mother. The baby not only fails to get enough nutrition but also suffers from severe gas pains due to swallowing too much air. In later years, it leads to physical and psychological problems such as the inability to pronounce sounds requiring tongue contact with the palate (R, L, S, T, Z, etc.) (lisping), and the inability to perform simple oral movements like licking ice cream or teeth cleaning. Early intervention can immediately restore all these developmental processes to normal.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
