Drew Mallard, DDS, of Knox Tot Pediatric Dentistry in Farragut/Knoxville, TN, offers state-of-the-art LightScalpel CO2 laser procedures, including tongue- and lip-tie releases (frenectomy) for newborns through teenagers. With over five years of experience performing LightScalpel laser frenectomies, Dr. Mallard is excited to provide these services at his new pediatric dental practice. When appropriate, a frenectomy can help children with breastfeeding or bottle-feeding challenges, speech development, oral mobility, and oral hygiene.
A LightScalpel laser frenectomy is a quick and gentle procedure that, in many cases, is bloodless and requires no sutures. LightScalpel CO2 laser benefits for patients include minimized bleeding, less swelling and discomfort, reduced risk of infection, shortened procedure time, and smoother recovery.
