Signs of Tongue Tie in Infants in Hamilton ON Area

Tongue tie in infants is a common problem, and Dr. Karen Ho of Dentistry on Parkdale in Hamilton, Ontario, provides the diagnosis and treatment of this condition at her office with tongue tie release surgery. She educates parents on what to look for and what can be done to resolve the problem.

What are the signs of tongue tie in infants?

Dr. Karen Ho and her team at Dentistry on Parkdale are well aware of the noticeable signs of tongue tie in infants. If your child has this condition, you will likely see some of the following:

  • Difficulty latching on for breastfeeding
  • Shallow latch with milk spilling out of the sides of the baby’s mouth
  • Difficulty in lifting the tongue to move food around in the mouth
  • Clicking sounds when your child is nursing or eating
  • Gagging or choking during nursing or eating
  • Frequent fussing at the breast, appearing to be in pain while nursing
  • A tongue that appears to have a heart shape when sticking out
  • Difficulty with swallowing
  • Poor weight gain despite frequent feedings
  • Excessive drooling

If you think your baby might be tongue-tied, schedule an appointment with Dr. Karen Ho and her team at Dentistry on Parkdale to determine if your child has a tongue tie and needs to have tongue tie release surgery.
