Tonque Tie & Lip Tie

Australia's Leading Tongue-Tie Clinic

Integrity Dental has been serving the community from our Dural and Baulkham Hills locations since 1993. We take pride in looking after the Hills Shire residents and the wider community. When it comes to lip and tongue-tie release procedures, our leading technology is available to everyone who needs it.

Our practice has proudly been one of the first Australian dental surgeries to acquire a laser capable of performing lip and tongue-tie releases quickly, safely and effectively.

We believe ourselves to be the leader in the field of laser lip and tongue-tie releases in Australia, successfully treating several hundred patients each year for these conditions.

What is a Tongue Tie?

A tongue tie is an inherited condition resulting in the tongue's reduced range of mobility due to a pronounced attachment from the bottom of the tongue to the floor of the mouth.

Signs & Symptoms:
  • Difficulty breastfeeding or bottle-feeding (infants)
  • Poor latch and painful feeding for mothers
  • Speech difficulties or unclear articulation
  • Restricted tongue movement
  • Dental spacing issues
  • Neck and jaw pain in adults
  • Sleep-disordered breathing

What is a Lip Tie?

A lip tie is the muscle attachment under the top lip, which can sometimes develop longer and thicker than ideal. This results in a reduced ability to evert (open) the top lip.

Signs & Symptoms:
  • Difficulty latching during breastfeeding (infants)
  • Gum recession near the front teeth
  • Gap between upper front teeth (diastema)
  • Reduced ability to evert (open) the top lip
  • Dental alignment problems

Why Treatment is Important

Both tongue and lip tie conditions can cause excessive pain and discomfort for both children and adults. At Integrity Dental, we take pride in providing those affected with the utmost care and compassion to treat these conditions swiftly and professionally.

Leaving these conditions untreated can affect the appearance and structure of the face, tongue and teeth. As a result, pain, discomfort and difficulty with facial function can occur. The two most significant areas in which a restricted tongue impacts a child's life are feeding and speech. Concerning a lip tie, the most common impacts are on feeding and tooth position.
Important: Unfortunately, these conditions do not improve naturally over time, so they require intervention with medical treatment.
