Tongue Tie Quiz

How can you tell if your child may have a tongue tie? Our simple questionnaire below is a great first step. Just select all that apply based on what you’ve noticed. Some signs of tongue tie can affect feeding, speech, and oral development, and may not always be easy to recognize. Once you submit the form, our team at LMK Pediatric Dentistry in Dyer and Crown Point, Indiana will review your responses and help determine whether further evaluation or treatment may be recommended for your child’s comfort, development, and overall oral health.
