Queens Chapel, DC Pediatric Dentist Performs Painless Tongue-Tie Laser Surgery

If your baby is having difficulties latching when breastfeeding or you have noticed a too-short frenum (a thin band of tissue found under the tongue which connects the upper and lower lips with the gums), then maybe your child has lip tie or tongue tie.

To be sure, you’ll need to take your little one to a pediatric dentist for a checkup and possible frenectomy - a minimally invasive procedure to modify the frenum, so your child can eat and swallow comfortably.

That’s where Children’s Choice comes in. They can resolve your child’s lip tie or tongue tie condition using an energetic beam of light that dissolves the frenum to allow for a wide range of motion of the upper jaw, lower jaw, or tongue.

The procedure is largely painless and takes 10 to 20 minutes to complete, and is safe for babies, toddlers, and children. The dentists at Children’s Choice Pediatric & Orthodontics will administer anesthesia upon request to further reduce discomfort and calm your little one. During the treatment, the laser’s heat cauterizes the area, quickening the healing process and preventing infections.

Children’s Choice provides three main types of frenectomy surgery: maxillary, labial, and lingual frenectomy.

By restoring normal tongue function, the treatment improves your child’s oral mobility, facilitating proper speech development and making breastfeeding an enjoyable mother-child bonding experience.

Alongside frenectomy, Children’s Choice offers a suite of other pediatric services, such as children's orthodontics, myofunctional therapy, and dental care services for special-needs children. The practice has two offices, one in Washington, DC, and the other in New Carrollton, MD.

A satisfied patient said, "This place is fantastic. We have been through three pediatric dentists in the area, and this one is, by far, the best. I am so happy to have found it. The staff, from the front desk and the hygienist to the doctor herself, are fantastic with children (calming, creative, reassuring, and thorough), which is so helpful when dealing with a 2.5-year-old. They also have Saturday appointments."
