Is your baby having trouble breastfeeding, or is your child struggling with certain speech sounds? The cause might be a physical restriction known as a tongue tie. At Dr. Lahane’s Dental Clinic, we offer advanced Tongue Tie Treatment in Hadapsar using gentle, modern techniques. Dr. Rohini Lahane (MDS) specializes in identifying and releasing these restrictions, helping infants feed better and children speak more clearly. For parents in Pune, we provide a supportive environment to address this common but often overlooked condition, ensuring your child can thrive without physical limitations.

What is Tongue Tie (and Lip Tie)?

Tongue tie, medically known as ankyloglossia, occurs when the strip of tissue (frenulum) connecting the underside of the tongue to the floor of the mouth is too short, thick, or tight. This restricts the tongue’s range of motion. A lip tie is a similar condition where the tissue connecting the upper lip to the upper gum is too tight, limiting lip movement. Both conditions can interfere with breastfeeding in infants and speech development in older children. 

In many cases, a simple procedure called a frenectomy or frenotomy where the restrictive tissue is released — provides immediate and dramatic improvement.

Signs Your Child May Have a Tongue or Lip Tie

•       Newborn struggles to latch during breastfeeding or bottle feeding
•       Mother experiences significant pain during breastfeeding due to poor latch
•       Infant makes clicking sounds while feeding or seems to tire quickly
•       Poor weight gain in a newborn despite regular feeding attempts
•       Toddler or child has difficulty saying sounds like ‘l’, ‘r’, ‘t’, ‘d’, ‘n’
•       Older child cannot stick their tongue out past their lips
•       Gap between the two lower front teeth caused by a tight lip frenulum
•       Difficulty cleaning the back of the teeth due to restricted tongue movement

Tongue Tie Treatment Procedure (Step-by-Step)

1.   Thorough Assessment — Dr. Lahane carefully examines your child’s tongue and lip mobility and assesses the degree of restriction.
2.   Consultation with Parents — We explain the findings, answer all your questions, and discuss whether treatment is recommended.
3.   Topical Numbing or Local Anesthesia — A gentle numbing agent is applied so the procedure is completely painless (especially important for infants).
4.   Frenectomy / Frenotomy — The restrictive tissue is precisely released using a sterile surgical scissors or laser. The procedure takes just a few minutes.
5.   Immediate Latching (for infants) — For breastfeeding babies, we encourage the mother to feed the baby immediately after to assess and reinforce the improvement.
6.   Aftercare & Exercises — We provide gentle stretching exercises to prevent reattachment and support optimal healing.
