World Class Service for Infants, Children and Adults
Treatment for Infants, Children and Adults
We started frenectomy procedures in 2007 and have run our tongue tie clinic in its current location since 2017.
We now bring these years of experience, combining medical and therapeutic expertise, to offer the most comprehensive care available for patients with oral dysfunction.
Our aim is to optimise oral function for the lifetime. Correct tongue resting posture, a posterior swallow, and the ability to chew effectively can have far reaching effects. These help achieve habitual nasal breathing and allow correct development of the bony structures of the face and jaw.
When we treat infants we need to ensure they change the way they feed so when we free up their tongue movement with surgery they keep this new movement. As well as improving their feeding and digestive comfort now, we also need to set them up with optimal oral function for life.
With children we need to help them change their habits from the compensatory ones they have needed to develop, to correct functional patterns of movement. We need to engage them in a fun and functional way to ensure all our processes are very child-friendly.
For adults, compensations are likely ingrained and problems may now be more established, so we are often seeing issues like sleep apnoea, tension headaches, postural problems and TMJ dysfunction. We will take into account all these issues to ensure a holistic approach to care. All procedures with CO2 laser, the optimal tool for soft tissue surgery

We attended the National Tongue Tie Centre for treatment for our then 8 month old son (now 12 months old). We are just finished all treatment and highly recommend the entire team for all their work. Every member of staff throughout the building in all areas were so pleasant to deal with. My little man was flying it straight after the procedure sooner. If you have the slightest incling of tongue tie regardless of what GP, PHN might say go with your gut and attend a consultation at the clinic ASAP as they are excellent and will give you a definitive answer. Many thanks to all the team for their support and guidance

My son recently got his Tongue tie fixed here and the experience we had here was exceptional. The staff were so good to my son and very professional and made the experience very easy for him. He loved going there over the summer. They also made me feel at ease and I never had to worry about any part of the procedure. I am so thankful to them and the surgery had made a massive difference in my sons life already. We would like to thank you for everything and for anyone who has a child who's Tongue tie i would highly recommend here.

Absolutely amazing service. My son was having issues in school being teased for speech and was really irritated at home, sleep patterns were all over the shop, fussy eater just all in all out of sorts. We had been attending speech therapy for 6 months + prior but we had seemed to come to a standstill with some words which was really making him agitated. From the moment I walked through the door I knew we had made the right decision. They told us Dylan had a class 3 tongue tie which meant that he only had use of only a few muscles in his tongue. From that 1st session we could see a difference in Dylan. We learned so much over coming wks and after the release he was more Confident, happy in himself and just all around a different child and has even helped hugely with sleep, his speech, hayfever symptoms and much more. We will be forever grateful. Highly recommended 5 ⭐ Clinic and all the staff are beyond amazing 👏
