Some care providers will take a wait-and-see approach for very mild cases, while others will recommend a frenotomy (also called frenectomy), which is the procedure used to release the lingual frenulum.
This procedure is often a choice for parents who are experiencing issues related to breastfeeding their infant.
Laser assisted frenectomy is a new option that is suitable for neonates, older children and adults. No general anaesthetic is used, but an analgesic gel might be applied. The procedure is very quick, taking only 2 to 3 minutes to perform, but some cooperation from the patient in keeping still is required.
There is virtually no bleeding, no pain, no risk of infection and the healing period can be short. It is best to have this procedure performed by a specialist in the area of laser dentistry who is familiar with tongue tie revision.
The patient returns for speech therapy in 2 days.
Short treatment time (usually 1-2 minutes)
No bleeding
No need for sutures
No need for general anesthesia or sedation
Rapid healing and recovery
Minimal pain or discomfort
Minimal chance for re-attachment
Minimally invasive
Feeding can be, and is encouraged to be, attempted immediately after the procedure
There is usually discomfort until healing is complete and this may take approximately 10 days, after which speech therapy may be commenced.
Without proper post-surgery exercises the frenum may reattach, and become even more restricted than pre-surgery.
Parents or caregivers have to physically stretch the tissue that’s been cut or lasered every day for at least 3 to 4 weeks afterward. This prevents the tissue from regrowing too tightly during the healing process.
The stretches are not complicated, but most babies don’t like them, and it can be difficult for parents.
