Laser Assissted Tongue Tie & Lip Tie Release

Tongue tie (ankyloglossia) and lip tie are conditions that occur when the tissues connecting the tongue or upper lip to the mouth are too tight or short, restricting natural movement. While they may seem minor, they can significantly affect a baby’s ability to breastfeed, swallow, speak, and even breathe comfortably. In older children, they may lead to speech delays, dental issues, and feeding challenges.

Fortunately, these issues can be safely and effectively treated with laser-assisted release, a modern, minimally invasive procedure designed to free restricted tissues without the need for traditional surgical tools or stitches.

Why Is Laser Treatment Recommended?

At Pedo Planet Children’s Dental Center in Chennai, we offer laser-assisted tongue tie and lip tie release using state-of-the-art dental lasers that ensure:

  • Minimal discomfort
  • No bleeding or sutures
  • Quick healing
  • Precise tissue removal
  • Reduced risk of infection

Our pediatric dental experts evaluate each child carefully to determine whether a frenectomy is needed and provide clear guidance on aftercare and therapy support.

When is Tongue or Lip Tie Treatment Needed?

This treatment is often recommended when your child experiences:

  • Difficulty latching or breastfeeding
  • Poor weight gain despite feeding
  • Clicking sounds while nursing

By gently releasing the tie, your child can enjoy improved mobility, better feeding patterns, and clearer speech development.
