Children may be born with ankyloglossia or a lip-tie, causing mobility constraints that can make breastfeeding difficult. This new laser clipping treatment is a long-term solution for these conditions.

Parents and guardians can schedule an appointment to learn more about their child’s condition and get a Kotlow grading scale classification for ankyloglossia.

Following the initial consultation, Children’s Choice Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics creates a surgical or non-surgical treatment plan including recommendations for brushing, flossing, and oral hygiene.

During a frenectomy, laser light is used to vaporize the frenulum under the tongue or upper lip, allowing for a better range of motion. Because the process causes nearly no discomfort, some babies and children can sleep through it.

Tongue-ties and lip-ties can cause problems with nursing. Mothers who opt for a frenectomy for infants can lessen the pain of breastfeeding. As children grow, an early frenectomy can improve bite function, gum health, speech function, and gum health.

The Capitol Hill laser dentistry practice also offers affordable annual membership plans for patients who don't have dental insurance. The updated treatments are in line with its mission to provide precision dentistry that meets the needs of every child. Children’s Choice Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics believes that children are precious, and the center is dedicated to providing individualized care that corrects and prevents long-term problems.
