Understanding Tongue Tie in the Indian Context
Tongue tie affects feeding, speech, and airway function for infants and adults. Ajuda integrates ENT surgery, lactation support, and speech therapy to deliver holistic results.
When to Consult Our Tongue Tie Team
⚠️ Seek evaluation if:
- ✓ Babies cannot latch or gain weight despite lactation help
- ✓ Toddlers develop unclear speech or drooling
- ✓ Teens and adults struggle with speech, snoring, or orthodontic relapse
Families from Secunderabad, Warangal, and Vijayawada benefit from Ajuda's combined ENT and therapy clinics.
