When you have a baby every little thing they do is really special. From the time they drink milk from you to the first time they say a word it is all very exciting.. Sometimes things do not go as planned. Some babies have trouble drinking milk from their mom. They might make clicking noises when they are eating. Some older kids have trouble saying words correctly. This could be because of something called ankyloglossia. At We Little we have a clinic called the Tongue Tie Clinic. This Clinic is here to find out if your child has any problems, with their mouth early. Then we help your child with the Tongue Tie problem in a gentle way. This gentle help can really change your childs life for the better.
We know that a tongue tie is not something small on a childs body. It can actually affect how they breathe and eat. This can be a problem for their growth. We use machines and we really care about people. We want every family that comes to see us to feel like they can do things and that we are here to help them. We are talking about the children, with tongue ties and their families. The tongue tie is a deal and we know that.
Understanding Tongue Tie: More Than Just a “Tied” Tongue
A tongue tie happens when the lingual frenulum, which is the piece of tissue that connects the tongue to the floor of the mouth is not right. It is too short or too thick or too tight. This means the tongue cannot move around like it should. The tongue is very important for how our face and head grow. It is, like the thing that helps steer our growth. When the tongue cannot touch the roof of the mouth or move freely it can cause a lot of health problems. The tongue tie can make a lot of things go wrong.
At our Tongue Tie Clinic we look at the problems that children have and put them into groups based on the age of the child, at the Clinic.
Infancy: Difficulty latching, poor weight gain, colic, and maternal nipple pain.
Toddlerhood: Problems transitioning to solid foods, gagging, and delayed speech.
Childhood: Speech clarity issues (struggling with ‘t’, ‘d’, ‘l’, ‘r’ sounds), dental crowding, and mouth breathing.
Long-term: Sleep-disordered breathing, snoring, and even postural issues.
We are the Best Pediatric Dental Clinic. We do not just look at the string under the tongue. The Best Pediatric Clinic looks at how that string affects your childs life and health. The Best Pediatric Clinic wants to know how it makes your child feel every day.
Why Early Intervention Matters
At We Little our approach is about Preventive Pediatric Dentistry. We think that fixing any problems when kids are really young can stop them from having big issues later on like needing orthodontic work or speech therapy or having trouble sleeping.
Our Clinic is focused on making sure kids can do things normally. We do not just do a procedure. That is it. We want to make sure the tongue can move like it should so that your child can breathe and eat and talk easily without having to find ways to do these things. Preventive Pediatric Dentistry is what we are about, at We Little.
When a tongue tie is not treated the body finds ways to make do. A baby might use their lips and cheeks to help them eat which can make them very tired and give them gas. An older kid might hold their tongue down in their mouth. This can make their teeth grow in crooked. If you take your child to our Clinic when they are young you are helping them have a way of breathing and a nice smile.
The We Little Difference: Laser Technology and Holistic Care
Many parents are really worried about their kids having surgery. At We we have made this experience a lot better. We use machines, like WaterLase or Diode lasers to do a frenectomy. This means we help fix the tie that’s too tight. We do this with the WaterLase or Diode laser technology to perform the frenectomy, which’s the release of the tie.
The good things, about using a laser at our Clinic include:
The laser is really good at what it does. It does not hurt that much. Most of the time the laser only needs a cream to numb the skin so the doctor does not have to give you a strong medicine to make you sleep. This means you will have discomfort when you get a treatment, with the laser. The laser is very precise. That is why it is okay to just use a little cream to numb the skin.
The laser does a cool thing. It helps stop the tissue from bleeding as it works on it. This means that there is no bleeding at all.. The best part is the doctor does not have to put in any stitches also known as sutures to close the wound. The laser takes care of the No Stitches part by itself. There is no need, for No Stitches, which is really nice.
Fast Healing is really great. It uses laser energy to help the body heal faster. This is called biostimulation. It is like a boost to the bodys natural healing process. The laser energy helps the body to heal properly. Fast Healing is, about using laser energy to make the bodys natural healing process work better and faster.
Many mothers see a difference right away. They notice that the breastfeeding latch gets better immediately even before they leave our office. This happens to a lot of mothers who visit us. The breastfeeding latch improves for mothers as soon as they are, in our office.
Our reputation as the Best Pediatric Dentistry in India comes from our promise to make dentistry painless and functional. We think the childs feelings are just as important as their health. At the Best Pediatric Dentistry we want to make sure children feel comfortable and happy when they visit us. The Best Pediatric Dentistry is, about taking care of kids teeth and making them feel safe.
The Importance of Myofunctional Therapy
One special thing about our Clinic is that we really focus on what happens after the procedure and helping people relearn how to use their tongue. Just cutting the Tongue Tie is not enough. The Tongue Tie is a problem because the tongue is a muscle. If the Tongue Tie has been there, for a time the tongue gets used to being restricted. This means the tongue has to relearn how to move after the Tongue Tie is cut. Our Clinic helps with this process.
Our team helps parents with some things they can do at home like special mouth exercises, which is also known as Myofunctional Therapy. These exercises help the wound heal properly so it does not get stuck together again. The Tongue Tie Clinic exercises also teach the tongue where it should rest which’s, on the roof of the mouth.
This way of doing things which’s a natural approach helps make sure that the results people get from visiting the Clinic last forever and really change things for them the Clinic results are permanent and really make a big difference.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my baby needs to go to a Tongue Tie Clinic?
There are some signs to look out for. If my baby has trouble staying latched on while I am breastfeeding, that is one sign. My baby might also make a clicking sound when they are feeding. If my baby is not gaining weight like they should that is another sign.. If my baby has a lot of gas that could be a sign too. For me if breastfeeding is painful or my nipples are cracked that might mean my baby has a tongue tie. The best way to know for sure is to take my baby to a Clinic and have a specialist take a look. They can tell me for sure if my baby has a tongue tie. I should take my baby to a Clinic to get a diagnosis from a specialist, at the Clinic.
Does the procedure at the Tongue Tie Clinic hurt my child?
The Clinic uses a kind of laser that is much gentler than using scissors or sharp tools. This laser helps stop the nerve endings and blood vessels from causing pain as it cuts so my child will not feel pain and there will be very little bleeding. Most babies can even feed after the procedure, at the Clinic, which helps them feel better.
What happens if I do not treat my childs tongue tie?
Some kids can find a way to deal with it. If you do not treat your childs tongue tie it can cause big problems later on. Your childs tongue tie can lead to problems, with speaking teeth that’re too close together because the jaw does not grow wide enough breathing through the mouth instead of the nose and trouble sleeping because of sleep apnea. If you take your child to our Tongue Tie Clinic when they are young we can help stop these problems from happening and make sure your childs face and head grow properly.
