🔎 Tongue Tie (Ankyloglossia): Symptoms, Treatment & Surgery Explained | Dr. Vignesh Gokul ENT

Description:
🚨 Does Your Baby Struggle to Latch While Breastfeeding? 🚨
If your newborn is facing difficulties while sucking milk, or if an older child struggles with speech and tongue movement, Tongue Tie (Ankyloglossia) might be the reason.

👅 What is Tongue Tie?
Tongue Tie occurs when a small tissue called the frenulum restricts the movement of the tongue, leading to issues in breastfeeding, speech, and oral hygiene. This condition can affect both infants and older children, sometimes even leading to breathing issues.

🎯 Key Symptoms of Tongue Tie:
✔️ Difficulty in breastfeeding or making a clicking sound while feeding
✔️ Problems in tongue movement (unable to extend beyond the lips)
✔️ Trouble licking ice cream or cleaning food from the teeth
✔️ Increased risk of dental decay and speech difficulties
✔️ In some cases, breathing problems due to restricted tongue movement

🩺 How is Tongue Tie Treated?
➡️ If symptoms are mild, no treatment is necessary.
➡️ If it affects speech and daily life, a Tongue Tie Release Surgery (Frenotomy) is recommended.
➡️ The sooner the procedure is done (preferably in infancy or early childhood), the easier the recovery.
➡️ Speech therapy is often needed for older children to regain normal tongue movement.

📌 Why Early Diagnosis is Important?
Dr. Vignesh Gokul shares a real-life case of a 14-year-old boy who struggled with speech due to undiagnosed Tongue Tie. Delayed treatment can make speech correction much harder.
