At Prima ENT Hospitals, we understand the challenges that a tongue tie can pose for individuals of all ages. Our dedicated team of ENT specialists is committed to providing comprehensive tongue tie release services, designed to improve speech, feeding, and overall oral functionality.
Tongue tie, or ankyloglossia, occurs when the strip of skin connecting the underside of the tongue to the floor of the mouth (lingual frenulum) is shorter than usual. This condition can restrict the tongue's movement, affecting how a person eats, speaks, and swallows.
We offer a simple, safe, and effective procedure to release the tongue tie. This procedure, also known as a frenotomy, involves cutting the tight, restrictive frenulum of the tongue. At Prima ENT Hospitals, this procedure is performed by experienced ENT surgeons under local anesthesia, ensuring minimal discomfort and quick recovery.
Q: What are the signs of tongue tie in children? A: Signs of tongue tie in children can include difficulty latching during breastfeeding, restricted tongue movement, and challenges with certain sounds.
Q: Is the tongue tie release procedure painful? A: The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, which minimizes pain during the surgery. Post-procedure discomfort is typically mild and manageable with over-the-counter pain relief.
Q: How long does the recovery take? A: Recovery time can vary, but most patients resume normal activities within a day. We recommend avoiding spicy or acidic foods for a few days to allow the tongue to heal properly.
Q: Are there any risks associated with tongue tie release? A: Like any surgical procedure, there are minimal risks, such as infection or bleeding. However, these are rare, and our team takes every precaution to minimize any complications.
Q: How can I schedule an appointment? A: You can schedule an appointment by visiting our website or calling our hospital directly. Our staff will guide you through the process and ensure you receive the care you need at your convenience.
