Do you suspect that your child may have a lip or tongue tie? Did some of your mom friends suggest that your baby has a tongue or lip tie and they may need a frenectomy? While all this might sound scary, know that tongue ties are quite common and about 5% of babies have one. A tongue tie occurs when your baby's frenulum (the tissue that connects the tongue to the bottom of the mouth) is too tight. In the case of a lip tie, the skin of the upper lip is connected to the gums.
