Eliminate a Tongue-Tie With a Quick & Simple Procedure

Choosing a tongue-tie procedure for your child is an important decision. Our  team will walk you through each step, answering your questions and ensuring both you and your child feel comfortable and confident about their treatment. The positive changes we see in children after the procedure – from improved eating to clearer speech – make this one of our most rewarding treatments.

Our gentle approach to tongue-tie treatment makes the procedure comfortable for children. Using advanced laser technology, your dentist can perform a tongue-tie procedure (known as a frenectomy) quickly and effectively, often in less than 15 minutes. With the laser’s precision, your child will experience minimal discomfort and fast healing.

During your child’s tongue-tie consultation, we will:

  • Perform a thorough examination of their oral structures and movement
  • Assess how the tongue-tie affects speech and eating
  • Demonstrate exercises to help with tongue mobility
  • Explain the procedure in child-friendly terms
  • Discuss post-treatment care and expectations
  • Create a plan for follow-up care and monitoring

Our laser frenectomy procedure is virtually pain-free. It typically requires only a small amount of topical numbing gel. Most children return to normal activities the same day, with minimal restrictions. Parents often notice immediate improvements in tongue movement and function.

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 too.

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.

Will a frenectomy hurt?

A frenectomy using laser technology is generally a low-pain procedure. Your child may feel some mild discomfort during and shortly after the treatment, but this is usually minimal. Most children recover quickly and can return to their normal activities soon after the procedure.
