Infant/Newborn Ties
At Peninsula Tongue Tie, our aim is to identify infants with tethered oral tissues at the earliest opportunity to ensure a smoother procedure and aftercare for both the baby and parents. Many babies exhibit symptoms during nursing or bottle feeding, such as difficulties with gas, grunting, colic, digestion, or sleep. We prioritize early diagnosis to maximize long-term improvements in quality of life, although it is never too late to address tethered oral tissues and alleviate related symptoms.
Does your infant...
  • Have difficulty nursing or bottle feeding?
  • Experience milk leakage from the mouth while eating?
  • Produce clicking or smacking sounds while eating?
  • Demonstrate slow or inadequate weight gain?
  • Show signs of reflux or colic?
  • Display excessive gas or persistent fussiness?

​If your answer is yes to any of these questions, it may be worth considering an evaluation or seeking further guidance regarding your child's feeding and overall well-being.
​​​Children & Adolescent Ties
Children may continue to exhibit similar issues related to feeding, such as being slow or picky eaters and experiencing difficulties with food choking. Additionally, they may encounter speech problems, dental or orthodontic concerns, breathing difficulties, and disruptions in sleep patterns. It's important to recognize that when children don't feel well, it affects the entire family, creating a ripple effect on their overall well-being and daily life. Addressing these issues and seeking appropriate support can lead to positive outcomes for both the child and the family unit.
Does your older child...
  • Experience restless sleep? Speak softly (mumble) or have difficulty being understood?
  • Demonstrate slow or picky eating habits?
  • Choke or gag on liquids or foods?
  • Have a heightened gag reflex?
  • Exhibit signs of a speech delay?
  • Grind teeth at night, snore, or sleep with an open mouth?
  • ​Have disrupting sleep patterns (bed wetting)?

If your child displays any of these symptoms, it may be beneficial to consider an evaluation or seek further guidance regarding their speech, feeding, and sleep patterns. Identifying and addressing any underlying issues can contribute to their overall well-being and development.
Teenager & Adult Ties
It is not uncommon for us to treat adults who are parents of the babies and children we have previously helped. Witnessing the significant improvements in their child's well-being inspires these parents to seek a better quality of life for themselves as well. Since tethered oral tissues often have a genetic component, it is not uncommon for multiple members of the same family to require our treatment and support. We take pride in assisting and positively impacting the lives of many individuals within a single family unit.

Does your Teen or do you...
  • Have ​poor oral and dental health?
  • Experience persistent speech issues?
  • Have jaw and neck pain?
  • Experience tongue fatigue?
  • Have frequent headaches?
  • Suffer from obstructive sleep apnea?
  • Have gum recession
  • ​Grind teeth at night, snore, or sleep with an open mouth?
  • Avoid using your tongue for common things like licking an ice-cream cone, licking lips, playing wind instruments  and many other activities that would be affected by having a tethered tongue
