A tongue-tie or lip-tie can affect feeding, sleep, and speech as your child grows. Dr. Lambert has completed advanced training in evaluation and release, so if your child needs this care, it can happen right here — not at a separate specialist's office.
A tongue-tie (ankyloglossia) or lip-tie happens when the thin band of tissue connecting the tongue or lip is tighter or shorter than usual, limiting movement. Not every tie needs treatment — many children do just fine without it. When one is symptomatic, though, it can affect feeding, sleep, and speech. That's why a preliminary tongue- and lip-tie check is part of every regular exam at Treehouse. If your child shows signs of a symptomatic restriction, Dr. Lambert follows up with a more in-depth evaluation and talks through whether a release makes sense, and what it would involve.
Tongue- and lip-tie concerns are often bounced between a pediatrician, a lactation consultant, and an oral surgeon before anyone treats them. Treehouse is built to shorten that path.
A preliminary tongue- and lip-tie check is part of your child's regular dental exam, so nothing gets missed.
If a tie appears to be affecting feeding, sleep, or speech, Dr. Lambert follows up with a more in-depth evaluation — no separate specialist required.
When treatment is the right call, it happens in the same calm office your child already visits.
