Lip and tongue-ties are common occurrences for most people, many of whom never experience any problems. Unfortunately, when these short bands of tissue do not expand and allow for free-flowing movement, it can pose a problem from the moment your child leaves the womb. While many cases are diagnosed and treated during infancy, some patients do not experience lip and tongue-tie common symptoms until they reach childhood or adulthood. These signs and symptoms can vary as your child grows older, so if you notice any of them developing, at any stage of development, contact our team at Happy Chompers Pediatric Dentistry to schedule an appointment.
