I LOVE that the whole office in the back is open and very comfortable for kids. The doctor was so great and patient with my son and took the time to ask my son to open his mouth and played with him to make him comfortable. Definitely recommend!”

Happy Mixed Race Toddler Boy tongue tie treatment

Does your child have a tongue or lip tie?

Tongue and Lip Tie Revision

Did you know your child’s ability to breastfeed, speak, and eat solid foods can all be impaired by a small string that connects their tongue to the floor of the mouth? Fortunately, treating lip and tongue ties is relatively simple for infants and young children at Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics of Chattanooga. A frenectomy is a procedure that involves removing either the connective tissue located under the tongue (lingual frenum) or the band of tissue that attaches the upper lip to the gums (labial frenum) to correct problems arising from either a tongue tie or lip tie condition. Our pediatric dentists have the training and skills to diagnose and treat this problem to ensure your child’s long-term well-being.
