What is a Tongue Tie Procedure?
A tongue tie procedure (or frenectomy) is a gentle liberation for your tongue! It’s a quick, simple surgery that releases the tight band of tissue (called the lingual frenum) connecting your tongue to the floor of your mouth. When this tissue is too short or tight, it restricts tongue movement – like trying to dance with your shoelaces tied together! At Shine Bright Dental in Amanora Park Town, Dr. Julie performs these procedures with a gentle touch and modern techniques that help patients of all ages speak clearly, eat comfortably, and smile confidently. “Your tongue needs freedom to express itself,” Dr. Julie often tells patients, “just like you need freedom to express yourself!”

You or your family member might benefit from a tongue tie release if:
Dr. Julie will examine the frenum (that's the tissue under your tongue) and assess tongue mobility. For babies, we'll observe feeding patterns; for older children and adults, we'll evaluate speech patterns and tongue range of motion. It's like checking how far your tongue can stretch before deciding to give it more room!
For infants, we may use a topical numbing gel. For older children and adults, we'll use local anesthesia to ensure complete comfort. Our team at Shine Bright Dental uses distraction techniques that make the procedure feel like a breeze even for our youngest Hadapsar patients!
Using either sterile scissors, a laser, or electrocautery, Dr. Julie will precisely release the restrictive tissue. The procedure is remarkably quick – often completed in less than 5 minutes! It's like snipping a too-tight collar to help your tongue breathe freely again.
Depending on the age and specific condition, Dr. Julie will demonstrate stretching exercises to prevent reattachment during healing. These simple movements help train your newly freed tongue to enjoy its full range of motion – like teaching a bird to fly after opening its cage!
