Help Your Child Eat, Speak & Thrive With Gentle Frenectomy Care

A lip- or tongue-tie can affect everything from feeding as an infant to speaking clearly as a child. When the frenum — the small piece of tissue connecting the tongue or lip to the mouth — is too tight or thick, it can limit movement and cause difficulties with breastfeeding, eating, speech, and even dental development. At Kids Smile, P.C., we provide gentle frenectomy procedures to help your child overcome these challenges and enjoy better oral function.

We offer:

  • Infant Frenectomy for Nursing – A tight tongue or lip tie can make it hard for newborns to latch properly, leading to feeding difficulties and discomfort for both baby and mother. A quick, precise frenectomy can improve nursing success.
  • Tongue-Tie and Lip-Tie Treatment for Kids – When a restrictive frenum affects eating, speech, or oral health, a simple procedure can free up movement and improve function.

What to Expect During the Procedure

  • Gentle Evaluation – We assess the frenum’s position and its impact on your child’s function.
  • Comfort & Sedation Options – Anxious children can receive laughing gas or in-house sedation with a board-certified anesthesiologist to ensure a stress-free experience.
  • Quick, Laser-Assisted Procedure – Using advanced laser technology, your dentist releases the tight tissue with minimal discomfort, bleeding, or downtime.
  • Fast Recovery – The laser promotes faster healing with few or no stitches. This allows your child to return to normal activities quickly.

With our kid-friendly approach, pain-free techniques, and comforting amenities like TVs, DVDs, pillows, and blankets, we make tongue-tie treatment easy for both you and your child.
