Did you know that a lot of people have what is called ankyloglossia (”tongue tied”) and cannot stick out their tongue. In some cases this can cause speech problems, feeding problems, or just prevent the patient from doing simple things like licking their lips. This situation can easily be remedied today in dentistry with the use of a laser. The laser is very gentle to tissue, doesn’t require any stitches (dental suture), and typically only requires a topical anesthetic………That’s right! No shots! Whether you are an adult or a child, having a frenectomy with the laser (eliminating the tongue tied area) can be a great benefit with very little post appointment problems or discomfort.
