What is tongue-tie (ankyloglossia)?

KDAH

Tongue-tie, or ankyloglossia, occurs when the strip of tissue connecting the tongue's bottom to the floor of the mouth is unusually short, thick, or tight. This condition can restrict the tongue's movement, making it difficult to speak, breastfeed, eat, or swallow properly. Treatment may involve a simple surgical procedure to free the tongue's movement. #TongueTie #Ankyloglossia #oralhealth #speechtherapy #breastfeeding #tonguemobility #surgicalprocedure #pediatrichealth #infantcare
