Tongue-tie. Yes, it’s a big deal!

If your pediatrician tells you they’re not a big deal, it’s time to get a new one! ​​​​​​

​​​​​​​Not all tongue-ties may cause issues, but they could sometimes lead to bigger health problems and definitely need to be addressed.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Causes of concern:​​​​​​​​
▪️ Abnormal Palate Formation, Airway Obstruction, Sinus Obstruction​​​​​​​​
▪️ Brain Development, Behavior, Attention, Intelligence, & Psychological Well-Being​​​​​​​​
▪️ GI Upset​​​​​​​​
▪️ Speech​​​​​​​​
▪️ MTHFR Gene Mutation​​​​​​​​

Many moms and babies suffer with nursing: difficulty latching, difficulties maintaining latch, and not getting enough milk due to decreased tongue movement.​​​​​​​​

A tongue tie can lead to frustration and fussiness during breastfeeding. Baby may become frustrated due to the inability to feed effectively, leading to frequent feeding disruptions and signs of hunger even after feeding sessions.

Tongue-ties can make breastfeeding physically painful for Moms, too. A poor latch caused by a tongue tie can result in nipple damage, including soreness, cracks, bleeding, or bruising.

At Well-Rooted, when addressing tongue-ties, we consider the underlying causes and address the associated functional disturbances.

We may refer to or consult with speech therapists, lactation consultants, or specialized dentists or chiropractors to develop the best course of treatment depending on the severity of the tie. In some cases, a tongue tie release or frenotomy may be recommended.

​​​​​ ‍⚕️ Find a provider who is knowledgeable. If your child or someone you care about is having issues with sleep apnea, mouth breathing, chronic sinus infections, concentration and attention, poor endurance, unexplained behavioral concerns, breath-related anxiety, and honestly the list just goes on and on – don’t accept “genetics” as the answer. This is old, outdated information. Genetics are not the end all be all. You are predisposed from your genes but not doomed by them. ​​​​​​​​
Knowledge is power. Everything has a root cause. ​​​​​​​​

Where do I begin????? I’m going to begin by telling you all a little back history about how I found this Diamond. I went through the wringer with my toddler since the day she was born. Doctors under the sun couldn’t give me anything but short answers, I paid so much money for better care and I was tossed around with questions and no answers. My baby was in need of somebody to just examine her properly and no matter how hard I looked it seemed impossible. that was in the past, until Jessica welcomed us with open arms, found the problem and continues to bless us with answers to our concerns by addressing them in a way that nobody ever has. We have seen major improvements in our daughter by following everything Jessica says, if you got to this page, I highly reccomend her. My daughter has seen so many doctors, been poked and pronged so many times that she doesn’t even like to be seen anymore. Trauma. But Jessica is patient, and kind. And she will find a way to get them to like her. My kid smiled for her and that was enough for me. And our kids have the same exact birthday, which felt like another sign to me!
Through our office visit, never once did I feel rushed or nervous. She never judged us for our choices as parents, and she always led us into a better path. Because of Jessica our daughter has a chance at a positive life with a promising future and I could not be more happy to have found her. This woman knows her stuff and she actually cares about people. I’ve never met someone in the medica field that I trust more than I trust her. I don’t know what I would do without her, I feel so grateful and I literally cried after our first visit when she gave us answers… and that’s how much I got out of her visit. Happy tears!!! Please don’t ever leave Jessica!!!Thank you Jessica.

We love this office! Jessica was the first practitioner to tell me about sublingual therapy allergy drops for environmental allergies. I had 3 out of 4 of my kids suffer from extreme eczema. Daily itching, bleeding, open wounds. Other doctors and allergist just told me to keep putting lotion on because it was due to dry skin. Believe me when I say I lathered my kids multiple times a day and tried every natural product out there and it didn’t help! Steroid cream was the only thing that was able to calm it down but it would come right back once we stopped using it. Well, a year into the allergy drops and my kids have beautiful eczema free skin! No more tears, no more fear of swimming pools and fear of infections. All thanks to the wonderful providers at Well-Rooted Pediatrics!! They truly care and think outside the box to get to the root of the problem. I am forever grateful for them!

We absolutely loved this place. Everybody was very nice and accommodating. Viktoria took her time to listen all our concerns and respond to all our questions. She did so well in explaining everything. The facility is very clean and nice. It was pleasure visiting this office.

2nd opinion was more than what I expected. I not only was able to explain symptoms but also get educated on how to resolve the issue. So so worth the drive as we live 1 hour away. I highly recommend them and Victoria was a pleasure to get help from.
