What can you expect during your baby’s tongue tie consultation?

Our Specialist Oral Surgeons will listen carefully to your feeding concerns and assess your baby’s oral anatomy and tongue function.

During the consultation, we gently assess:
✨ Tongue elevation
✨ Tongue protrusion
✨ Tongue cupping
✨ Lateralisation
✨ Sucking reflex
✨ The underside of the tongue, frenulum attachment and floor of mouth

We believe it’s important to assess the whole oral anatomy and how the tongue functions during feeding, as every baby and feeding journey is unique.

Our aim is to provide a calm, supportive and evidence-based assessment, helping parents feel informed and reassured every step of the way 🤍

If you have any concerns about feeding your newborn you can visit us in Worcester Park by appointment.

?Missing teeth? - You may be asked to see an orthodontist, in this case they identified a wisdom tooth obstructing the upper left molar from aligning in the mouth. The brave patient was referred to me for removal of the obstructing tooth and this will aid the molar to erupt into a natural position. Top down photos of surgery in action😷

The difference a release can make! Baby was brought in at 3 weeks with difficulty feeding. On review there was a severe restriction of the tongue movement. The lower jaw was being forced to close reducing the ability to latch. Following release, there is an improvement in jaw opening and feeding overall.
Thank you to parents for trusting us.

What does a tongue tie release look like for my baby?

One of the key benefits of laser operated tongue tie release is the reduced bleeding from the wound. This is one of the reasons many families prefer this option.

Following the release we can expect to see a delicate diamond shaped wound at the floor of the mouth and base of tongue which is initially yellow in colour. As this heals it can become white or pink. This is normal and part of the healing process. This can take place over several days.

We provide detailed post-operative advice in clinic so you feel informed and safe after the surgery.

This little angel had a release of a severe tongue tie. Instantly there was improved mouth opening and more tongue movement seen following the procedure.
