Tongue Tie

Tongue Tie is where the skin (frenulum) joining a babies tongue to the bottom of their mouth is shorter or thicker than usual.  This can make it harder to breastfeed, and as children age with a tongue tie, it can create lots of challenges with oral health and activity.

​The Surgical process to remove a tongue tie (frenectomy) is a straightforward procedure and can be completed during a 20-minute outpatient appointment, with our experienced maxillofacial surgeon.

Medical Insurance

If you are paying for your procedure or treatment with medical insurance, you will need to liaise closely with the insurance provider throughout the process.
