Supportive Care for Tongue-Tie & Lip-Tie in Peace River
When a child has trouble nursing, eating, or speaking clearly, it may be more than just a phase. Tongue-tie and lip-tie are common conditions that can restrict natural movement in the mouth, leading to real challenges with feeding, speech, and development.
At Wing Dental Centre, we provide early diagnosis and in-office treatment to help your child grow, thrive, and feel more at ease during everyday activities. Dr. Wing takes a thoughtful, personalized approach to every case and works closely with families throughout the process.
If you’re noticing signs of a tongue- or lip-tie, book a consultation today to find out how we can help.
What Is a Tongue-Tie or Lip-Tie?
Tongue-tie and lip-tie are conditions that affect the soft tissue inside the mouth, limiting normal movement. Tongue-tie limits how freely the tongue can move due to a short band of tissue under the tongue. Lip-tie affects the upper lip, restricting movement because of a tight frenum between the lip and gums.
These conditions can lead to:
- Feeding difficulties in infants
- Speech delays or articulation issues in children
- Tongue thrusting or mouth breathing
- Frustration during feeding or speaking
- Misaligned front teeth (tilting or spacing)
Tongue-Ties: What Parents Need to Know
How We Treat
Tongue-Tie & Lip-Tie
Dr. Wing carefully evaluates each child to determine if a tongue-tie or lip-tie release is recommended. These procedures are:
- Quick and safe for infants, toddlers, and older children
- Performed in-office using precise surgical techniques
- Often followed by oral myofunctional therapy (OMT) to encourage healthy muscle use and healing
Early diagnosis can lead to better outcomes, but children of any age can benefit from treatment. Recovery is generally smooth, though some children may need speech or feeding therapy afterward to help adjust to the new range of motion.
Supporting Your Child’s Growth & Comfort
At Wing Dental Centre, we focus on the whole picture. In addition to tongue- and lip-tie releases, we offer:
- Oral myofunctional therapy (OMT) to retrain the tongue and facial muscles
- Orthodontic evaluations for early detection of structural issues
- Collaboration with speech therapists, lactation consultants, and other professionals as needed
Our team works closely with parents to make sure every child receives the right care at the right time.
