Can laser treatment help my tongue tied child?

Tongue ties can affect children and adults of all ages. The frenum is the fibrous attachment that connects your tongue to the mouth floor. In some patients, the frenum is thicker than it should be. This results in the tongue being unable to move freely which in turn has a profound effect on oral health, speech and eating habits.

Modern dentistry technology has provided a solution that can release frenum tension using laser. Laser treatment provides a blood-free cut that seals blood vessels and nerve endings. This treatment is virtually pain free and most patients very quickly experience the benefits of normal tongue movement. For patients who suffer from speech impediments, they will need training from a professional speech therapist to learn to speak properly.
