Lip-tie is a genetic condition in which a string of tissue under the lip, aka Frenulum or Frenum, is too tight or too brief.
Lip-ties can trigger breastfeeding problems for both infants and moms such as uncomfortable nursing and shallow locking. This is not the end. For kids with lip-tie, as they begin to get their front teeth in, the tight frenum can pull and trigger a space to appear in between their 2 front teeth. The tissue might likewise hinder efficient oral health as it can be uncomfortable to brush around the tie without tearing or hurting it, and regrettably this impaired capability to clean up the teeth correctly can even more result in a greater danger of establishing cavities on the front teeth.

We can quickly deal with the lip-tie and bring back the typical function of the lips by utilizing a CO2 laser. The advantage of utilizing a laser for the frenectomy treatment is that it’s very exact and since the laser seals up the capillary and nerve endings throughout the treatment, there is very little to no bleeding at all. Since there is no bleeding, stitches are not required. The treatment itself takes just 15-20 seconds, and there is no requirement for basic anesthesia. Recovery can be really quick.
