Compassionate care for tongue and lip ties, ensuring your baby's well-being
How the process works in Four Steps
Step 1:
Book & Attend Consult
Consult with our doctor to discuss your concerns, evaluate your child's mouth, and provide personalized guidance on the best course of action for their care.
If a release is determined to be the best course of action, we will then schedule an appointment for the procedure (in some cases, we can complete this the same day).
The best results are in coordination with another practitioner. If you have not already had a consult with another provider, we will help recommend who your child should see as every child has different needs.
Step 2:
Appointment For the Release
Bring your baby for a gentle and precise release procedure, performed by our experienced professionals, aimed at releasing the tongue and/or lip ties to enhance their feeding abilities and improve overall symptoms.
Step 3:
Follow-up in the Office
Return to our office for a post-release follow-up visit, where we will assess your baby's progress, address any concerns, and provide additional support and guidance to ensure a smooth recovery and optimal healing.
Step 4:
Stretches & Continue Therapy
Post-procedure stretches are crtiical to ensure reattachment does not occur. After the procedure, the doctor will show you mandatory stretches. Please complete the regimen of recommended stretches and follow-up therapy to aid in proper healing and support your baby's optimal oral function. This will help them achieve the best long-term outcome.
