Tongue and Lip Ties
Tongue and lip ties are more than minor oral restrictions—they can affect everything from feeding and speech to airway health and facial development. At Bay Area Dental, Airway & Sleep, we take a comprehensive approach to diagnosing and treating ties, helping patients of all ages overcome challenges and achieve lasting wellness.
Struggles with latching, prolonged feedings, or frequent fussiness during nursing.
Speech delays, difficulty swallowing, or restricted tongue movement.
Chronic grinding, snoring, mouth breathing, or orthodontic concerns that seem to reappear.
Using advanced laser tools, we perform gentle, precise releases of tongue and lip ties. The procedure minimizes discomfort and reduces recovery time, often eliminating the need for anesthesia—especially in children.
Prior to a tongue release, myofunctional therapy helps train the tongue to maintain position during surgery and to facilitate the tongue’s normal movement which will lower the chance of the tongue tie reforming.
From infancy through adulthood, we use detailed evaluations to identify ties and their impacts. Early detection often simplifies treatment, while adult patients benefit from thorough assessments that connect ties to their symptoms.
Addressing tongue and lip ties early can prevent a cascade of issues later. For children, this means smoother feeding, clearer speech, and better growth. For adults, it can mean relief from chronic discomfort, improved sleep, and enhanced overall health. Whether you’re seeking relief for your infant, child, or yourself, we’re here to help.
