What we treat
Does a tongue tie cause a speech problem?
Families often ask whether a tongue tie explains unclear speech. Most of the time it does not.
Feeding and speech are different questions
A tongue tie can affect feeding in a baby. The link to later speech is far weaker.
Assess before you cut
Ask for a speech assessment before you agree to a procedure for speech reasons.
We give you a straight answer
If the tie is not the cause, we say so, and we tell you what is.
