What is Tongue Tie?
Tongue tie – also known as Ankyloglossia – is a congenital condition, meaning it is present at birth. In Tongue tie, the baby’s tongue is attached (or tied) to the floor of the mouth or to the lips. This restricts the range of motion of the tongue severely. The condition develops in the womb as a result of a gene mutation that has been passed on.
Normally, the tongue is attached to the floor of the mouth by a small band of tissue called the frenulum that extends from the floor of the mouth to the bottom of the tongue. ENT specialist, Dr. Shree Rao explains that babies born with Tongue tie have a very short or thick frenulum because of which the tongue cannot move freely.
What are the symptoms of tongue tie?
- Difficulty in latching to the breast during feeding
- Difficulty in lifting the tongue to the upper teeth
- Difficulty in moving the tongue from side to side
- Trouble sticking out the tongue past the lower front teeth

- Challenges with oral activities such as licking an ice cream cone or licking the lips
