Identifying a tongue tie or lip tie can be challenging, but there are several key symptoms to watch for. In infants, signs may include difficulty latching during breastfeeding, poor weight gain, frequent detaching during feeding, or excessive gas and discomfort. For older children, you might notice speech difficulties, challenges with tongue movement, or gaps between teeth. Physical indicators include a heart-shaped or notched tongue tip when extended, limited tongue mobility, or a thick band of tissue connecting the lip to the gum. Our team at Flourish Tongue Tie specializes in comprehensive assessments that can definitively diagnose these conditions, providing peace of mind and a clear path forward for concerned parents.
