Tongue-Tie Release in Kemps Corner, Mumbai
Tongue-tie, or ankyloglossia, is a condition where the tongue’s movement is restricted due to a tight or short band of tissue under it. While it may seem minor, it can affect feeding in infants, speech in children, and even breathing and oral comfort in adults.
At DreamDent Clinic, Dr. Priyam Parikh focuses on identifying not just the presence of tongue-tie, but how it is impacting your overall oral and airway function. Whether it’s difficulty in breastfeeding, unclear speech, or long-standing issues like mouth breathing or snoring, timely treatment can make a meaningful difference.
How Tongue-Tie Affects Oral & Airway Health
The tongue plays a much bigger role than we often realize. It supports speech, swallowing, breathing, and even jaw development. When its movement is restricted, the effects can show up in different ways over time.
Some common concerns associated with tongue-tie include:
Difficulty breastfeeding or poor latch in infants
Speech clarity issues in children
Breathing through the mouth
Discomfort in the jaw
Difficulty in proper swallowing
Impact on the quality of sleep
Most of the problems related to tongue-tie come up gradually. This is why the condition often goes unnoticed.

Types of Tongue-Tie Release Procedures
The type of treatment depends on the severity of the tongue restriction and the patient’s age.

Frenuloplasty
A more advanced procedure used in older children or adults when additional correction is needed for better function.
At DreamDent Clinic, the approach is always guided by what is necessary for long-term improvement, keeping the procedure as comfortable and minimally invasive as possible.
