A tight or short piece of tissue under the tongue or upper lip can make it harder for a baby to latch during feeding, and later on it can affect speech or make it difficult to keep certain teeth clean. Not every tongue-tie or lip-tie needs treatment, but the ones that do are often missed for months before anyone connects the dots.
At Purple Tooth Dental, we evaluate tongue-tie and lip-tie in infants and older children and can perform a release, called a frenectomy, when it’s affecting feeding, speech, or oral hygiene. The procedure itself is quick, and we’ll walk you through exactly what to expect before, during, and after.
Dr. Jon Kaczmarski, DMD completed a pediatric dental residency with training in complex pediatric cases, and he and our team also speak Spanish for families throughout Mount Holly.
Contact our office today to schedule a tongue-tie or lip-tie evaluation for your child.
