Did you know that a lip or tongue tie can lead to more cavities?

Cleaning teeth and gums properly can be more difficult with a shorter tongue. A tongue tie can pull against the gums on the back of the teeth causing recession. A lip tie may trap food and make it difficult to remove plaque from the front teeth. Without effective oral hygiene, smiles are vulnerable to tooth decay or gum inflammation.

How soon can we release a lip and tongue tie?

The procedure may be performed as early as a couple of days after birth. Once a tongue or lip tie has been discovered, the sooner it is addressed the better in order to resolve symptoms. Baby is allowed to nurse immediately after the procedure.

Fun Fact Friday!

In our office, we use a state-of-the-art Solea laser to gently remove tight tissue. This allows us to easily release ties with minimal to no bleeding and no stitches! The Solea laser takes us 30 seconds to release a lip and tongue tie.

Both tongue and lip tie releases are simple procedures. There are virtually no complications when using a CO2 Solea laser and good technique.
