Yes, children and adults can benefit from a frenectomy. If you need a frenectomy, it means a tight or short band of tissue in the mouth (lip or tongue tie) is interfering with normal function and/or oral development.
Lip and tongue ties can hinder:
- Speech and purposeful mouth movements
- Sucking and latching on in babies
- Breathing and sleep
Frenectomy Treatment in Brentwood, TN
A frenectomy is a straightforward treatment made easy and virtually painless with medical-grade laser dentistry. Instead of an invasive scalpel, we use the gentle laser, a tool that cauterizes as it goes. The laser means precision and swiftness, with little to no recovery time needed.
We perform laser frenectomies right here in our dental office.
If your baby has difficulty latching on, is fussy during feedings, and is not receiving adequate nutrition, a tongue or lip tie may be the culprit.
Your child’s Brentwood dentist will assess their lips and tongue to determine whether they have a lip or tongue tie. We’ll talk to you about our findings and let you know what to expect.
