Tongue tied (or ankyloglossia) is an oral anomaly in which the underside of the tongue is connected to the floor of the mouth by a mucus membrane. Other than decreasing the tongue's mobility, this is not a harmful condition at all. It can be easily repaired by a Doctor Who fixes it by basically just snipping the mucous membrane so the tongue is no longer tethered to the mouth.

Tongue tie, or ankyloglossia, is a condition where the tissue connecting the tongue to the floor of the mouth is shorter than usual, restricting the tongue's range of motion. This can affect speech, feeding, and dental development in some cases. Treatment may include simple stretching exercises, surgical release, or therapy depending on the severity.
