Laser/FrenectomyHutto, TX
Laser Technology:
The advent of lasers has helped us to expand dental procedures into the non-invasive realm. Beams of light can repair many of the problems that required knives and picks in the past. We use laser for soft tissue surgeries such as frenectomy (infants and children), tooth exposure, gum surgery, mucocele removal etc. With laser there is less post-operative pain and quicker healing.
Infant Frenectomy
If your baby was born with a lip or tongue tie, it can affect every aspect of his or her overall health. Lip or tongue tie can interfere with nursing and eating, causing nutritional issues, and as your child develops, these problems can interfere with speaking as well.
Dr. Naik sees infants as early as a day after birth for the revision of abnormally attached labial frenum or lingual frenum and the procedure is done in the office. We make it a priority to fit in infants right away. Our goal is to support mom’s and babies with successful breast feeding.
