Breathe Freely, Speak Clearly: Tongue Tie Release at BluSky Dental Ottawa
At BluSky Dental Ottawa, we’re committed to bringing life to your smile and improving your overall oral health. Our advanced Tongue Tie Release and Functional Frenuloplasty services offer a solution to restricted oral movement, helping you breathe, speak, and live better.
Understanding Tongue Tie and Lip Tie
Frenulums are small bands of tissue that control the movement of your lips and tongue. When these are too short or tight, they can cause:
- Restricted tongue movement (tongue-tie)
- Limited lip movement (lip-tie)
- Difficulties with speech, nutrition, breathing, and sleep
Our expert team at BluSky Dental Ottawa can help identify and treat these issues, improving your quality of life.
