✨ Lip & Tongue Tie Treatment with Dr. Brooke Nordquist ✨
Did you know that a lip tie or tongue tie can affect much more than feeding? At Schroeder Family Dental, Dr. Brooke Nordquist provides comprehensive evaluation and treatment for lip and tongue ties, helping patients of all ages experience improved function, comfort, and overall health.
👶 Benefits for Infants
A tongue or lip tie release can make a significant difference during those important early months by:
✔️ Supporting a deeper, more secure latch for breastfeeding and bottle-feeding
✔️ Reducing maternal trauma during nursing
✔️ Helping babies feed more efficiently and comfortably
✔️ Decreasing the amount of swallowed air, which may reduce colic, gas, and feeding-related discomfort
✔️ Supporting healthy facial and jaw development by encouraging proper tongue posture
✔️ Promoting nasal breathing, which can improve sleep quality and airway health
🧒👩🦰👨 Benefits for Children
Lip and tongue tie treatment can also improve everyday function and long-term oral health by:
✔️ Enhancing speech clarity and tongue mobility, helping with difficult sounds and reducing lisps
✔️ Improving oral hygiene by allowing the tongue and lips to naturally clear food debris, reducing cavity and gum recession risks
✔️ Reducing strain on the neck, shoulders, and TMJ muscles caused by compensatory movement patterns
✔️ Supporting healthy facial and jaw development by encouraging proper tongue posture
✔️ Promoting nasal breathing, which can improve sleep quality and airway health
At Schroeder Family Dental, Dr. Brooke Nordquist takes a personalized approach to evaluating oral restrictions and determining whether treatment may help improve quality of life.
