Tongue Tie is where the skin (frenulum) joining a babies tongue to the bottom of their mouth is shorter or thicker than usual. This can make it harder to breastfeed, and as children age with a tongue tie, it can create lots of challenges with oral health and activity.
The Surgical process to remove a tongue tie (frenectomy) is a straightforward procedure and can be completed during a 20-minute outpatient appointment, with our experienced maxillofacial surgeon.

Patient contacts our team with a brief description of their symptoms. All responses are addressed within 2 hours of the enquiry and will be answered within the hours of 8am – 5pm Monday to Friday.
The patient will need to advise the age of the child and if there is any family history of bleeding disorders or anaphylaxis.
Within 48 hours, our private services team will then book an appointment at a convenient time for you. This will be a face to face with our Consultant in Maxillofacial Surgery Dr Parmar at our Thorpe Park Clinic to look at your child's tongue tie and determine whether a release is necessary.
A £45 deposit is required to secure your appointment, this will be redeemable against the procedure if it goes ahead. If a release is required, we can offer this within the same appointment slot.
If a follow up is required, our private services team will book this in for your child.
