What are the benefits of tongue-tie surgery for
babies?

Introduction

• When tongue-tie appears, surgery is recommended.
  Your dentist will use laser surgery to perform a
  "frenectomy."
• This procedure allows the baby to move their
  tongue freely, allowing him to eat and develop
  normally.

What is a Frenectomy?

• Laser tongue-tie surgery is a quick procedure
  performed to separate the zonule from the tongue.
  
• The laser allows for a cleaner cut to separate
  the tissue, making it safer and more comfortable
  for the baby.

Common tongue tie signs include a heart
shaped-tongue, as well as inability or difficulty
lifting the tongue or moving it sideways. A
baby's oral development, as well as how they eat,
speak, and swallow, can be affected by
tongue-tie. Because a baby's inability to
effectively breastfeed can lead to poor
nutrition, you should contact your family dentist
as soon as you notice it to get it fixed.
