Common Questions About Frenectomy

Why treat a tongue-tie? + –

A tongue-tie can often lead to future problems if ignored, although some children with tongue-ties don’t experience problems or it even loosens as they get older. Not being able to nurse properly can cause malnutrition. As they get older, your child may experience speech problems, too.

Will a frenectomy hurt? + –

A frenectomy using laser technology is generally a low-pain procedure. Your child may feel some mild discomfort during and shortly after the treatment, but this is usually minimal. Most children recover quickly and can return to their normal activities soon after the procedure.

When should I bring my child for a tongue-tie consultation? + –

Consider a professional consultation if your baby has trouble latching, weak suction while nursing, poor weight gain, limited tongue movement, or frequent gas/reflux. A dentist can evaluate whether a frenectomy is needed. Early assessment is key, as delays may lead to increased difficulties. Don’t hesitate to contact us if you notice these signs.
