Description: Pediatric Tongue and Lip Ties: Diagnosis and Treatment with Soft Tissue Lasers An American Board of Laser Dentistry Certification Course 5% or more of the babies born in the United States have such tight tongue- ties and frenum pulls that they cannot successfully latch onto mother’s nipple and breastfeed. For the baby, serious consequences include loss of weight and the label of “failure to thrive”. For the mother, this results in sore and cracked nipples, mastitis, painful engorgement and post-partum depression due to an inability to nurse her baby. This has classically been treated by a physician taking a scalpel or a pair of scissors to the newborn’s mouth and cutting the attachment. These treatments can be imprecise and lead to suboptimal outcomes. Today’s treatment of choice, however, is for a dentist to use laser technology to painlessly, bloodlessly remove the attachment, allowing the infant to immediately nurse! This not only provides superior outcomes for your patients but a significant opportunity to improve your practice.
