Tongue Tie Procedure for Kids in Canton, TX
Sometimes, a small piece of tissue (called a frenum) can be attached too tightly, either between the upper lip and gum or under the tongue.
This condition, known as tongue-tie, lip-tie, or Tethered Oral Tissues(TOTs), can cause complications.
If your child is struggling with any of these challenges, we’re here to help. Schedule an appointment with the experts at Curtis Kids Dentistry for an evaluation. We'll make sure your child is on the path to comfort and ease.
During a frenectomy, also known as a tongue-tie or lip-tie release, the doctor uses a gentle laser to make a small cut in the frenum, which helps relieve tension on the lip or tongue. The best part? The area usually heals quickly with little to no discomfort. It’s a simple, effective way to make feeding, speaking, and more, much easier.
Help the surgical area heal by performing prescribed exercises.
Return to the office one to two weeks after the procedure for a post-op check-up with the doctor.
