Detailed Introduction

The Tongue Tie Center of Baltimore Maryland is a specialized clinic dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of tethered oral tissues, commonly known as tongue and lip ties (ankyloglossia). The center is spearheaded by Dr. Jesse Ritter and Dr. Saleha Mahmud-Ritter, who developed a personal understanding of the impact of tongue ties after their own son experienced breastfeeding difficulties. This personal journey fueled their commitment to providing comprehensive and compassionate care in this specialized field. Located at 6601 York Rd, Baltimore, MD 21212, the clinic utilizes advanced techniques, including LightScalpel CO2 laser technology, for frenectomy procedures. This laser method offers precise, minimally invasive treatment with reduced bleeding, swelling, and faster healing times. The Tongue Tie Center of Baltimore addresses a wide range of issues associated with tongue and lip ties, which can affect individuals of all ages. In infants, common symptoms include difficulties with breastfeeding (poor latch, poor weight gain, gassiness), and in older children and adults, issues can extend to speech problems, picky eating, sleep-disordered breathing, TMJ pain, migraines, and various oral health concerns. The clinic prides itself on offering personalized care in a supportive environment. They provide thorough pre-procedure assessments, detailed post-procedure care instructions, and often recommend follow-up with other specialists like lactation consultants, speech-language pathologists, or myofunctional therapists to ensure optimal outcomes and address all related challenges. Testimonials frequently highlight the clinic's friendly and welcoming staff, the gentle approach of the doctors, and the positive impact the procedures have on patients' quality of life.

My experience with Smile Solutions of Baltimore was nothing short of amazing! First, the front desk staff…. so kind! Dr. Ritter was so informative at the initial appointment and gave me the necessary information and advice to ensure I was prepared for this process. At the procedure date, she gave us more information to be aware of what would be taking place and what follow up care was needed. The procedure was so quick and my son healed with little pain medicine necessary.

The lip and tongue release and been so helpful and I’m so glad ai came here to get it done. Also, I’d like to add although Dr. Ritter is an out of network doctor, her staff provides everything needed to file a claim with your insurance which I appreciated. I will recommend this office to anyone who may need a tongue/lip release!

This is our second experience at the Tongue tie center of Baltimore! My husband and I had both of our infants lip and tongue ties released by Dr Saleha Ritter due to issues with breastfeeding. We had such a great experience at the Tongue tie center of Baltimore, Dr Saleha Ritter she was very thorough with her examination and explaining the exercises after the procedure was done.

Both of our children did very well after the procedure and healed well. I would highly recommend the tongue tie center of Baltimore to all of our friends and family!

We were informed that our daughter had a tongue tie when she was born but weren’t advised to do anything about it because she was gaining weight well. When she was unable to take a bottle and difficulties with breastfeeding persisted, we had several evaluations telling us she needed a tongue and lip release. We were very nervous getting this done at 10 weeks old and as a first time mom I was a wreck. Yet Dr.

Ritter and her team did an amazing job. They were so kind, professional, informative, and took great care of our daughter. Highly recommend Dr. Ritter and her team!

I had a wonderful experience taking my 3-month-old son to the Tongue Tie Center of Baltimore with Dr. Ritter. From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive. Dr.

Ritter was fantastic—she took the time to explain everything and made sure we felt comfortable throughout the process. The procedure was quick and went smoothly, and I appreciated the follow-up care instructions. I highly recommend Dr. Ritter and her team for anyone seeking tongue tie treatment for their little ones!
