What Is BIOLASE® Laser Dentistry?
Laser dentistry is a modern way to complete dental procedures using focused laser energy instead of traditional instruments. We are pleased to offer the Waterlase system from BIOLASE, which combines water and laser technology to help complete many simple and more involved dental treatments with greater precision, efficiency, and comfort. This approach helps our team work carefully while supporting your child’s comfort, safety, and healing after treatment.
What Is Tongue-Tie Or Lip-Tie Therapy?
Some children are born with a frenulum, the small band of connective tissue in the mouth, that is shorter or tighter than usual. When this tissue limits tongue or lip movement, it may be referred to as a tongue-tie or lip-tie. These conditions can make nursing, speaking, bottle-feeding, or normal mouth movement more difficult.
Thankfully, a gentle procedure can help release a tongue-tie or lip-tie and improve movement. With the Waterlase system, our team can perform this treatment efficiently and comfortably, often with meaningful benefits for a child’s feeding, speech, and oral function. Tongue-tie treatment may even be available for infants, helping families address concerns early.
