Lip and Tongue Tie Laser Treatment in Mansfield, TX
NO Scalpel. NO Drill. LESS Pain. FASTER Healing.
Understanding Lip and Tongue Ties
Dr. Jung specializes in treating lip and tongue ties for patients of all ages. These conditions restrict lip and tongue mobility, and as a result, they can interfere with several critical functions:
- Nursing and eating
- Speaking and swallowing
- Oral health
- Jaw development
Because these functions are so interconnected, a tie left untreated rarely stays confined to just one area of development.
Potential Complications
When lip and tongue ties go untreated, several complications can follow. For instance, speech disorders often develop alongside breastfeeding challenges, since both rely on similar tongue movements. In addition, sleep disorders and airway complications may emerge over time. Meanwhile, orthodontic issues and eating difficulties can compound the problem further, making early evaluation especially important.
Laser Treatment Advantages
Our advanced laser offers several benefits over traditional methods. Because the procedure is non-contact, it also reduces bacteria without the need for harsh cutting. As a result, patients typically experience:
- Non-contact procedure
- Bacterial reduction
- Minimal bleeding
- Faster healing
- Reduced inflammation
- No harsh cutting
Procedural Details
During treatment, Dr. Jung uses laser energy to release the tie. At the same time, the laser kills bacteria and seals blood vessels, which together minimize post-operative pain. Consequently, most patients move through recovery more comfortably than they expect.
