Lingual Frenulectomy (Tongue Tie Revisions)

At our Winnsboro dental office, Dr. Cassis has successfully performed hundreds of tongue tie release procedures, helping patients of all ages regain full tongue function. The ability to move the tongue freely—especially lifting it to the roof of the mouth—is essential for clear speech, proper swallowing, and healthy facial development.

Tongue tie occurs when the frenulum (the small band of tissue connecting the tongue to the floor of the mouth) is too tight or short, restricting movement. In infants, this can make breastfeeding difficult, often causing frustration for both baby and mother. As children grow, a tongue tie can lead to speech delays, articulation issues, and even problems with oral hygiene. If left untreated into adulthood, it can contribute to jaw pain, headaches, and difficulty eating certain foods.

Dr. Cassis performs gentle and precise tongue tie releases to restore normal tongue movement. This simple procedure involves carefully releasing the tight frenulum, often resulting in immediate improvement. With a high success rate, tongue tie release can make a meaningful difference in daily comfort and overall quality of life.
