Eliminate a Tongue-Tie With Advanced Laser Treatment
Our family dentists provide the highest quality of care for your child’s tongue-tie. Our team of experienced professionals understands the importance of early intervention and is dedicated to helping your child achieve optimal oral health and function. We know a tongue-tie can affect not just the physical health of your child, but also their emotional well-being. We will guide you through the process with the care and expertise your little one deserves.
Tongue-tie, also known as ankyloglossia, is a condition present at birth where the thin tissue connecting the tongue to the floor of the mouth is too tight or short. This restriction can cause a variety of issues, including:
- Difficulty with breastfeeding or bottle-feeding
- Speech delays or articulation problems
- Digestive issues, such as reflux or colic
- Limitations in tongue mobility, affecting eating and swallowing
We offer state-of-the-art laser frenectomy. This procedure involves using a precise, low-power laser to gently release the tight frenulum. This allows for improved tongue movement and function. Laser frenectomy offers several benefits compared to traditional surgical methods:
- Minimal bleeding and discomfort
- Reduced risk of infection
- Faster healing time
- No need for stitches or general anesthesia
