Frenectomy
Frenectomy is a procedure used to release the lip or tongue frenum.
A restrictive lip and/or tongue frenum (tie) could be the reason why your child is having feeding difficulties, speech issues and/or improper jaw development.
Benefits of using a laser to carry out a frenectomy
Here at our dental office, our pediatric dentists use a CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) laser to carry out this procedure. There are several benefits of using a laser:
- Minimal bleeding
- Minimal discomfort
- The procedure is rapid
- Clean and disinfected wound
