A safe solution for tongue & lip ties
The frenulum is the tissue that guides the development of a baby’s mouth in the womb. In most children, it recedes before birth, but in about 10% of kids, this tissue remains, connecting tightly different parts of the mouth — like the tongue to the bottom of the mouth, or the lips to the gums.
This can affect your child’s ability to use their mouth, resulting in:
- Breastfeeding issues in babies
- Trouble eating or drinking
- Speech difficulties
- Misaligned bites
At Acorn Pediatric Dental, Dr. Jason Tesoriero can work with you and your little one to diagnose and treat this problem. He has specialized training in laser frenectomy surgery to treat tongue and lip ties quickly, comfortably, and effectively.
Laser Frenectomy Surgery:
- $Takes just a few minutes
- $Minimally invasive
- $Requires a quick recovery time
- $It’s highly precise
- $Allows your child's mouth to develop normally
