Frenectomy Treatment in Citrus Heights
Minimally Invasive Tongue & Lip Tie Release
Weideman Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics is proud to offer quick, effective frenectomy procedures in an environment designed to sooth your child.
Some babies have trouble nursing, taking a bottle, or even starting to form words—and sometimes a frenectomy is the perfect solution.
What Does a Frenectomy Treat Exactly?
Tongue and lip ties occur when the tissue connecting the lips or tongue to the mouth is too tight or thick. This can restrict movement and cause a range of issues for infants and young children, including:
- Trouble latching during breastfeeding
- Poor weight gain
- Long feeding times
- Early speech or swallowing difficulties
Our pediatric dental team uses advanced dental lasers to gently release the restrictive tissue with minimal discomfort and rapid healing. Most procedures take only a few minutes and allow for immediate feeding or soothing after treatment.
