Understanding Tongue-Ties
A tongue-tie can affect people of all ages, and its symptoms vary depending on the severity of the restriction. Common issues associated with tongue-ties include:
- Infants: Difficulty breastfeeding, poor weight gain, and colic.
- Children: Speech difficulties, challenges with eating certain foods, and dental problems.
- Adults: Persistent speech impediments, oral discomfort, and issues with dental health.
Benefits of Correcting A Tongue-Tie
Correcting a tongue-tie can provide numerous benefits, significantly improving daily life and overall health:
- Improved Breastfeeding: For infants, a tongue-tie release can lead to more effective breastfeeding, better weight gain, and reduced frustration for both mother and baby.
- Enhanced Speech: Children and adults can experience clearer speech and easier communication.
- Better Oral Hygiene: A greater range of tongue motion helps with proper oral hygiene, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease.
- Increased Comfort: Eating and oral movements become more comfortable and natural.
