Queens Chapel, DC Pediatric Lip Tie Laser Surgery: Frenectomy Treatment Updated

Queens Chapel, Washington, DC — Children’s Choice Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics (202-410-0088) updates its frenectomy procedures, offering laser treatment to safely correct restrictive frenum in lip- or tongue-tied children.

Washington,United States - November 15, 2022 /NewsNetwork/ —

The new treatment involves using an energetic beam of light to dissolve frenum—a thin band of tissue found under the tongue which connects the upper and lower lips with the gums—allowing for a wider range of motion of the upper jaw, lower jaw, or tongue.

Largely painless, the procedure takes 10 to 20 minutes to complete and is safe for babies, toddlers, and children. The dentists at Children’s Choice Pediatric & Orthodontics will administer anesthesia upon request to further reduce discomfort and calm the young patient. During the treatment, the laser’s heat cauterizes the area, quickening the healing process and preventing infections.

The dentists recommend a frenectomy where the child’s frenum is unusually short or attached too close to the tip of the tongue. If left untreated, the condition can lead to eating difficulties, speech impairment, or painful breastfeeding. Patients who have issues related to their frenum may develop a gap between their teeth, experience jaw pain and protrusion, suffer chronic jaw clicking, and other conditions that may have long-term implications for their oral health.

Children’s Choice provides three main types of frenectomy surgery: maxillary, labial, and lingual frenectomy.

By restoring normal tongue function, the treatment improves oral mobility, facilitating proper speech development and making breastfeeding an enjoyable mother-child bonding experience.

Alongside frenectomy, Children’s Choice offers a suite of other pediatric services, such as children’s orthodontics, myofunctional therapy, and dental care services for special-needs children. The practice has two offices, one in Washington, DC, and the other in New Carrollton, MD.

A satisfied patient said, “This place is fantastic. We have been through three pediatric dentists in the area, and this one is, by far, the best. I am so happy to have found it. The staff, from the front desk and the hygienist to the doctor herself, are fantastic with children (calming, creative, reassuring, and thorough), which is so helpful when dealing with a 2.5-year-old. They also have Saturday appointments.”
