Lip/Tongue Tie Release
Lip and Tongue Tie Release with CO2 Laser is a modern, minimally invasive procedure used to correct restrictions in the lip or tongue that may interfere with normal movement. These restrictions, known as tongue tie (ankyloglossia) and lip tie, occur when the tissue connecting the tongue to the floor of the mouth or the upper lip to the gums is too tight or short. These conditions can lead to difficulties in breastfeeding, speech, oral hygiene, and overall oral health.
Using a CO2 laser (carbon dioxide laser) for the release of these ties offers several benefits, including precision, minimal discomfort, faster healing, and reduced risk of infection.
With a referral from your MD, paediatrician, midwife or lactation consultant we can asses infants regarding lip and tongue tie issues that can affect breastfeeding.
