Tongue and lip ties can cause your child to experience issues with sleeping, latching during breast or bottle feeding, speech, and other difficulties. A frenectomy is a quick, minor surgical procedure that can alleviate those complications and improve your child’s quality of life. Our expert team offers frenectomy procedures to address and correct these issues in a safe, effective, and comfortable manner.
Lip and tongue ties are caused when the frenum, a small fold of tissue, restricts the movement of the tongue or the lips, leading to difficulties with speech, feeding, or oral hygiene. During a frenectomy, the doctor will carefully release this tissue in order to free the movement of the tongue or the upper lip. With advances in dental technology, we utilize precise techniques that ensure the procedure is as efficient and comfortable as possible.
Frenectomies can have many benefits for young patients, including improved breastfeeding and bottle feeding, better clarity of speech, increased comfort in daily activities, and better oral hygiene.
