Frenectomies: Restoring Function & Comfort with Precision
What to Expect :
- Consultation & Assessment :
A dentist evaluates the severity of the tongue/lip tie using visual exams or feeding assessments (for infants).
- Laser Procedure :
A CO2 or Light Scalpel laser safely releases the tight frenum in 5–10 minutes , minimizing bleeding and discomfort. Most cases require only topical anesthetic .
- Post-Op Care :
Gentle exercises (e.g., stretching the treated area) and myofunctional therapy prevent reattachment and restore mobility.
- Follow-Up :
Monitor healing and track improvements in breastfeeding, speech, or dental alignment.
Benefits :
- Infants : Improved latch, reduced feeding pain, and better weight gain.
- Children/Adults : Enhanced speech clarity, reduced gagging, and prevention of gum recession.
Rare Risks :
- Temporary swelling, mild bleeding, or (in <1% of cases) complications like poor feeding or airway issues.
Why Choose Laser? :
- Less trauma, faster healing, and reduced infection risk compared to traditional surgery.
