Tongriem Praktijk Nijmegen

About Tongriem Praktijk Nijmegen

Tongriem Praktijk Nijmegen is a practice in Nijmegen-Noord specializing in diagnosing and treating tongue-tie problems in babies up to 9 months old. The practice also treats lip-tie if needed.

Assessment and treatment

During an initial consultation, the team assesses the tongue-tie and tongue function; a lactation consultant observes during a feeding. Parents then receive advice. Surgery is not the first approach; the practice first chooses a non-surgical option if it can resolve the complaints.

• Diagnosis of tongue-tie problems
• Tongue-tie treatment
• Lip-tie treatment if needed
• Observation during feeding
• Lactation consultant support
• Follow-up and advice on tongue movement

Approach

An initial consultation takes 60 minutes. If treatment is recommended and the parents agree, it can take place during the same hour. The baby is fed immediately after treatment and returns about a week later for a follow-up.

Location and appointment

The team is in Nijmegen on Wednesdays and Thursdays. A parent or referrer fills in the contact form; a link is then sent by email to book an appointment online.

• Gezondheidsplein De Boog, Nijmegen-Noord

Costs and reimbursement

The costs are classified as dental expenses and are fully covered for children under the basic health insurance policy. The practice can bill the health insurer directly.
