Company description
Tongue-tie release involves cutting the short, tight piece of skin linking the underside of the tongue to the floor of the mouth. It's a quick, simple and almost painless process that usually resolves feeding problems straight away. At Integrity Dental, Tongue-tie Release treatment is carried out by a specially trained doctors and nurses. The procedure doesn't seem to hurt babies. This is because there are very few nerve endings in the area around the floor of the mouth. Some babies sleep through the procedure, while others cry for a few seconds. A general anesthetic is usually needed for older babies with teeth, which means they'll be unconscious throughout the process. The baby's head is held securely while sharp, germ-free scissors are used to snip the tongue-tie. Some practitioners use a laser instead of scissors. It only takes a few seconds, and you can start feeding your baby right away afterwards.
