Have you been told that your child needs a frenectomy? Well, you’ve come to the right place! Here at Lantzy Children’s Dentistry, we see a lot of patients, from infants to adolescents, that require lip and tongue correction treatment.
Our expert staff at Lantzy Children’s Dentistry will make sure your child is totally comfortable during their procedure, and they’ll be back to living their everyday life in no time!
Sometimes the frenum, which is a thin piece of tissue that connects the lips to the gums, and also runs on the underside of the tongue, is too long causing a tight connection. When this occurs, the range of motion is severely limited. Here at Lantzy Children’s Dentistry, we use a laser device called the Gemini Diode to gently release the frenum, allowing for more oral range of motion.Â
A lip and tongue tie correction, often referred to as a release, can help improve eating, speech, breathing, tongue placement and more. This procedure is quick and minimally invasive, and is more effective the earlier it’s completed.
If left untreated, lip and tongue tie complications range from speech difficulties, poor oral hygiene, breathing issues, sleep disruptions, tongue placement and more. As an infant, it can severely impact the ability to nurse and gain weight.
Our team at Lantzy Children’s Dentistry is committed to dental excellence, which means your child will receive the very best care and treatment. Because of our commitment to excellence, each of our expert team members are constantly seeking new methods and knowledge to best treat your child. Lantzy Children’s Dentistry delivers treatment you can trust!
