Give Your Child the Best Start With Laser Tongue-Tie Release

As a parent, you want to give your child every opportunity to grow, develop, and succeed. A tongue-tie can create challenges that impact your little one’s health and development. Whether your dentist spots it during their checkup, or you have been notified of the condition by your child’s doctor, we can release the tongue-tie with gentle and effective laser technology. By addressing the problem early with laser treatment, your child can avoid the challenges that come from this condition.

You and your child will experience numerous benefits from a laser frenectomy:

  • Greater Precision – Laser technology allows for precise results when releasing tongue-ties. Only the necessary tissue is targeted, minimizing discomfort and promoting faster healing.
  • Faster Healing – Laser tongue-tie release promotes faster healing compared to other methods. The laser will seal blood vessels and nerve endings as it releases the tie. This reduces bleeding, swelling, and discomfort.
  • Reduced Risk of Complications – The gentle nature of laser tongue-tie treatment reduces the risk of complications after the procedure. This gives you peace of mind knowing that your child is receiving the safest, most advanced care available.

A frenectomy is sometimes used to address sleep apnea symptoms in adults. We use the comfortable Solea dental laser for precise care.

Common Questions About Tongue-Tie Treatment
Why treat a tongue-tie?

While some children with tongue-ties don’t experience problems or it even loosens as they get older, a tongue-tie can often lead to future problems if ignored. Not being able to nurse properly can cause malnutrition. As they get older, your child may experience speech problems, snoring, sleep apnea, cavities, or breathing concerns.

When Is the right time to bring my child for a tongue-tie consultation?

You should come for a consultation if you notice your child is having trouble latching on during breastfeeding. You may also notice poor suction while nursing, low weight gain or weight loss, limited movement of the tongue, or a high incidence of gas or acid reflux. Your dentist will perform an examination and determine if a frenectomy is right for you and your baby. The longer you wait, the more difficulties your child may have, so don’t hesitate to give us a call.

Why does my child have a tongue-tie?

The reasons for tongue-ties are relatively unknown, although genetics play a role. While it’s most common for infants and young children, it’s been seen in teens and older adults too. Not everyone has issues with a tongue-tie, though, so it may have gone unnoticed.
