Tongue Tie Evaluation
The intake questions for a tongue tie evaluation, the areas they cover, and sample questions for practice staff.
The tongue tie evaluation on this page is a typical set of intake questions a parent answers about a baby's feeding before an ENT visit. The questions are built from a UNC lactation clinic intake form and NorthShore's pediatric otolaryngology history questionnaire.
Tongue tie evaluation, handled by the AI Doctor avatar
AI Doctor, a real-time AI healthcare assistant avatar, asks the questions on a tongue tie evaluation in the patient's own language, strictly following the practice's instructions.
- Intake before the visit. Patients answer online before they arrive, or at a kiosk when they check in.
- Answers ready for the clinician. Clinicians see what the patient said before the visit starts.
- Less workload at the front desk. Staff spend less time handing out forms and entering answers by hand.
- Key details at a glance. The care team sees what matters up front and decides who needs attention first.
The form becomes a natural conversation: patients answer by talking, in their own words. AI Doctor is an information and patient-assistance interface. It collects answers for the care team to review. It doesn't diagnose, triage, or give treatment advice.

Tongue tie evaluation: FAQ
What does a tongue tie evaluation ask?
The sample questions on this page are based on a UNC lactation clinic intake form and NorthShore's pediatric otolaryngology history questionnaire. This page groups them into six areas: feeding, latch, weight, birth history, earlier help, and family history.
Who answers the tongue tie evaluation questions?
A parent or guardian, for the baby. The UNC lactation clinic form is completed by the parent at the first visit.
Is it the same as an ankyloglossia evaluation?
Yes. Ankyloglossia is the medical name for tongue tie. Children's Wisconsin uses both names in its co-management guideline for infants.
Why does the form ask about bleeding in the family?
NorthShore's questionnaire asks about bleeding problems in blood relatives. Children's Wisconsin's guideline lists coagulopathy, a bleeding disorder, among the conditions its ENT workup may rule out.
Is there a tongue tie evaluation template?
The sample questions on this page show a typical set. The UNC lactation clinic form also covers pumping, supplements, and nipple pain in more detail.
Does the avatar judge whether a baby is feeding well?
No. AI Doctor only collects the parent's answers. The practice's team reviews them and decides what happens next.
Does AI Doctor give medical advice?
No. It collects information for the care team. It doesn't diagnose, triage, or recommend treatment.
Can patient answers stay on our own servers?
Yes. RAVATAR offers on-prem deployment: the platform can run inside your own perimeter, so patient answers stay there. RAVATAR complies with GDPR and the EU AI Act.
