A tongue can stick out and still be restricted.

It’s not enough to rule out tongue tie just because the tongue can poke forward.

This baby had a tongue tie snip at birth, and you can see that the tongue can now protrude far forward.

But the most important movement for the tongue and good oral function is elevation. And that includes the mid-tongue not just the tip.

Elevation of the tongue is important for:

✅ Good suction and transfer of milk at the breast
✅ Good swallowing
✅ Speech development and articulation
✅ Breathing and airway patency during sleep
✅ Palate development during childhood

To assess for tongue tie properly involves a functional history and a feeding assessment to check the latch.

We also need to lift the tongue and feel the degree of tension.

In this case, there is a still a posterior tongue tie which restricts mid-tongue elevation.

The presenting concerns were poor latch, clicking and intake of air, and gassiness.

If these concerns are present, it’s important to know how well the tongue lifts.

If someone says there is no tongue tie because of how far the tongue can protrude, it can be worth another opinion if there are functional concerns.
