How to check for a tongue tie

This is a basic run down of how I assess the oral motor skills or baby and for the presence of tongue tie. This is NOT a parent tutorial for completing an evaluation, it's to show how a proper assessment should be done. This would typically done by a skilled/trained professional like a speech or occupational therapist, pediatric dentist, or special trained ENT doctor. If your healthcare provider only looked at the baby's tongue without doing a full hands on assessment like this, your healthcare provider did not actually check for ties.
This video is mean for education purposes only. Exercises should be done under the direct supervision of a trained therapist or IBCLC as the needs of every baby are different.
