Starbrite Dental Offers Tongue-Tied/Lip-Tied Treatments
Rockville, MD Pediatrician Dr. Seifi Provides Expert Pediatric Care for Tongue and Lip Ties
Starbrite Dental understands the impact tongue-tie and lip-tie have on children's oral and general health. The frenulum, the small tissue connecting the lip or tongue to the mouth, is often too tight. This can cause problems with oral hygiene, breastfeeding, and speech development. Our compassionate team at Rockville, MD, is here to provide your child with gentle, effective treatments.
What are Tongue-Tie and Lip-Tie?
- Tongue Tie: This occurs when the frenulum beneath the tongue is either too thick or short, preventing the movement of the mouth. This condition can make it difficult for a child to speak clearly, breastfeed or perform basic oral functions such as swallowing.
- Lip Tie: A lip-tie occurs when the frenulum that connects the upper or lower lip and the gum is too tight. This can cause problems with breastfeeding, as well as gaps between teeth. This can make it hard for children to properly close their lips, which will affect their oral hygiene.
Signs and Symptoms of Tongue-Tie and Lip-Tie
Starbrite Dental Offers a Variety of Treatment Options
Starbrite Dental offers the latest technologies and techniques to treat tongue-tie and lip-tie. We use the least invasive and gentlest techniques to ensure your child is comfortable.
- Frenectomy: The most common treatment of tongue-tie or lip-tie involves a frenectomy. This is a simple, non-invasive procedure that releases the frenulum. The frenulum can be released using either a surgical knife or a laser. Lasers are often chosen for their precision, minimal pain, and rapid healing.
- After-Treatment:
Our providers will give you detailed instructions for how to take care of your child's mouth after the procedure to promote healing and to prevent the reattachment. You will be guided on how to help your child gain full mobility of the tongue or lip.
