What are
Oral Ties?

Tongue and lip ties are issues that arise when the frenum, which is the strip of soft oral tissue that holds either the lips to the gums or the tongue to the floor of the mouth, is overgrown or too thick. As a result, it can limit the movement of these appendages and lead to a variety of issues at all stages of life.

My son who is six months old came to see Dr Jesse. He diagnosed my son with severe tongue and lip tie and did the procedure the same day! He was very thorough in explaining the process and after care. He was also great at listening to my concerns! Thank you for your great care!
