FRENOTOMY

Please arrive on time. Text us when you've arrived and please wait in your car, as the clinic space is small. If you are not able to make it please let me know at info@tonguetiegalway.ie or cancel your appointment using the link in the confirmation email.

​

You will receive a confirmation email with lots of information on tongue-tie, and a video which explains some exercises.

​

The best way that you and your baby can prepare for the appointment is to do lots of brief but effective tummy time and to try the exercises shown in the email at least once a day PRIOR to coming to clinic. This is a great way of stretching and strengthening the front of the body, or sensory integration and motor development, all of which is important for a baby to feed properly. This work also allows parents to gain some confidence with the aftercare.

 

Dr Vanessa Stitt will go through the findings on exam with you, and give you a plan. If we decide on release otgether, an appointment will be made for release. This may be 1-6 weeks later.​​​
