Tongue tie correction with dental laser:

Tongue tie is a condition in which there is restricted tongue movement due to the abnormal attachment of the tongue to the floor of the mouth.

There are two types of tongue ties:

1. Complete tongue tie

2. Partial tongue tie

Complete tongue tie:

When the baby cries if the tongue is moving backwards towards the throat region, there is possibility for complete tongue tie. This can be corrected easily within a few days after birth. The baby with a complete tongue tie used to have signs of difficulty in sucking the milk.

Partial tongue tie:

This type of tongue tie is not easy to identify. Normally when the child try to put the tongue out the tip of the tongue is pointed, but when a child with a partial tongue tongue tie try to do this the tip of the tongue will be broad or the shape of "w"

Partial tongue ties can be corrected in a dental clinic with the help of dental laser.

Tongue tie correction with dental laser is a minimally invasive procedure. This is an injection-less, blade-less, blood- less, suture-less,painless procedure which can be done in few minutes. This is the reason why parents prefer laser tongue tie correction than conventional surgical correction.

Tongue tie must be corrected before the development of speech.
