A short, thick or tight band of tissue attaches the child\u2019s tongue to the floor of their mouth.

Some doctors prefer to take a wait-and-see approach, as the band of tissue may loosen over time, but most prefer to surgically correct the condition. The physician will either perform a frenotomy, a simple surgical procedure that involves cutting the tissue, or a frenuloplasty, which is more complicated.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Call <span class=\"company-name \">Mid-Valley ENT &amp; Allergy<\/span> at <a href=\"tel:+15419670404\" class=\"phone \"> <span class=\"phNum\">(541) 967-0404<\/span><\/a> for more information or to schedule an appointment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ankyloglossia, also known as tongue tie, is a condition present at birth that restricts the tongue\u2019s range of motion.
