A tongue-tie, or ankyloglossia, is a common physical condition which limits the use of the tongue. A lip-tie is a condition where the upper or lower lip cannot be moved properly. When we are born, our frenum, or the attachment in the center of our mouth, is supposed to recede and become thin sometimes this does not happen. It is our priority to get your child the best dental care where full tongue and lip functionality can be restored.
