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.
Your initial consultation will be with our consultant Mr Jiten D Parmar (FRCS). He will discuss your child's condition and what options are available for their care.
At this appointment you can discuss any questions and concerns you may have for your child and for you.
You will always be seen by our consultant Mr Jiten D Parmar (FRCS). Mr Parmar is a Consultant in Maxillofacial Surgery and is the Maxillofacial Trauma Lead, Deformity, Orbital Reconstruction, Digital Reconstruction at Leeds Teaching Hospital.

Repeat prescriptions
We are able to provide repeat prescriptions for regular patients who have previously seen one of our GPs and an agreement has been made to put medication/prescription on repeat.
The GP will agree a duration for the repeat prescription/medication before a medication review appointment is required.
There will be a £20 administration charge to issue a repeat prescription if this is required between appointments.
Our opening hours vary depending on which professional you need to access. However, our clinic will generally be open from 8am to 6pm Monday - Friday.
Some of our services are available on weekends. Please call us to discuss.
Accessing our private GP service should not affect your care from your local NHS GP service. Although we aim to provide a full primary care service we strongly recommend that you remain registered on your local GP patient list to ensure assistance in the event of a medical emergency.
Following an initial consultation our consultant will discuss options with you. The procedure option is to have a frenectomy which is the surgical process to remove the tongue tie.
