Dr. A and our team at Happy Chompers Pediatric Dentistry are pleased to offer you and your child a solution for their lip or tongue tie. Often called a frenectomy or frenulectomy, these terms are used to describe lip and tongue tie treatment in Katy. Using advanced precision thanks to advanced technology and equipment, Dr. A will quickly release your child’s lip or tongue tie, allowing them to regain necessary oral function for better health. You can trust that when you bring your child to Happy Chompers Pediatric Dentistry, they are being treated by an expert team of professionals. Call us today to schedule an appointment.
When your child needs a frenectomy, we will release the band of tissue that is connected to their tongue and/or upper lip. This process allows for your child’s lip or tongue to have a full range of motion, improving their eating habits and speech.
The traditional way to perform a frenectomy is to use a scalpel and sutures. Although completely safe and effective, there are some drawbacks to this method of treatment. Not only is it known to cause greater discomfort for the patient, but it does not allow the pediatric dentist in Katy to be as precise. Oftentimes, because the patient is an infant (in most cases), it can be much harder to remove as little tissue as possible when they are moving around and upset.
