Solve Your Child’s Tongue-Tie Problems With a Frenectomy
A tongue-tie is often misdiagnosed as other problems. You may be told your child just has trouble latching on while nursing or, if they are older, that they are just a picky eater. By treating the tongue-tie early on, you can avoid problems later down the road. Tongue-ties can cause or worsen speech problems, difficulties sleeping and eating, orthodontic problems, and more.
Dr. Davis uses a laser to perform a frenectomy, a procedure in which the tissue tying the tongue down is removed. Laser treatment is safer than the traditional tongue-tie fixes. You can expect benefits such as:
- Less swelling and discomfort so the healing time is quicker
- More precise results with little if any bleeding
- Shortened surgery time and less risk of infection
Typically infants are ready to nurse and older children ready to play right after their treatment. Your dentist will explain the required stretches to get the best results from the frenectomy. She’ll also schedule follow-up appointments to ensure your child’s healing is going smoothly.
You can also trust Dr. Davis to work directly with your child’s ENT doctor or other specialists to ensure successful resolution of issues caused by the tongue-tie. Her goal is for your child to achieve their full potential and for you to experience the same positive results she had from her child’s laser frenectomy.
