Tongue tie refers to a condition in which the strip of tissue below the tongue (called the lingual frenulum ) becomes shorter than usual, restricting tongue movement in the mouth. Although tongue ties may affect individuals of all ages, doctors or dentists usually detect them during infancy.
Tongue tie releases, or frenectomy procedures, can be easily performed by dentists or doctors. The procedure involves cutting or modifying the frenulum to facilitate tongue movement in the mouth; or in cases of lip tie where frenulum connecting lower or upper lips is too tight. Our dental office uses advanced laser technology for these releases for added comfort for our young patients as well as increased precision when performing them; so that your child’s tongue tie issues can be taken care of quickly and painlessly.
Most cleanings and exams last about an hour to an hour and a half, ensuring every step of your care is thorough and comfortable.
We begin with a careful exam of the tongue and lingual frenulum, reviewing how the tie is affecting breastfeeding, speech, swallowing, or overall comfort. From there, we decide if a tongue-tie release (frenectomy) is the best option.
The area is gently numbed (when needed) to keep your child comfortable. We explain each step to the parent or patient so everyone knows what to expect during the quick in-office procedure.
Using advanced dental laser technology, we precisely release or reshape the tight frenulum under the tongue. The laser helps minimize bleeding and discomfort, and the procedure is typically very fast.
Right after the release, we provide simple aftercare instructions, including stretching exercises (if recommended), feeding or speech tips, and pain management guidance. Follow-up visits allow us to monitor healing and coordinate with lactation consultants or speech therapists when needed.
