Tongue and lip ties can be treated, when deemed appropriate , with a simple surgical procedure called a frenectomy.

The release of a tongue-tie or lip-tie can be performed using surgical scissors, but this can cause excess bleeding or scar tissue formation, and ultimately delayed healing .

At Quinte Tongue Tie Centre, we utilize a dental CO2 laser, which is designed to be less invasive and more precise. This advanced technology allows us to safely and effectively release the tongue or lip restriction, ensuring a comfortable experience for our patients with faster healing and reduced post-operative discomfort. Our focus is on providing effective, lasting solutions with minimal discomfort, helping both children and adults improve their quality of life.
