Overcome Tongue-Tie Challenges With an Expert Dentist
Dr. Jan Bublik brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the treatment of pediatric tongue-ties. His commitment to staying at the forefront of dental technology ensures that your child receives the most advanced and comfortable care available. Utilizing state-of-the-art laser technology, Dr. Bublik performs frenectomies to release the tissue restricting your child’s tongue.
Compared to traditional tongue-tie treatments, laser frenectomies offer numerous advantages:
- Less Invasive – The laser precisely targets the restrictive tissue, reducing any impact to the surrounding areas. This results in minimal swelling and discomfort after the procedure.
- Faster Healing – The laser promotes faster healing while it frees your child’s tongue-tie. There is less post-procedure pain and a shorter recovery time. Your child can quickly return to their normal activities, whether it’s nursing for infants or playing for older children.
- Greater Precision – The laser’s concentrated beam allows for the precise release of the restrictive tissue while preserving healthy tissue and minimizing bleeding. This ensures optimal results.
- Shorter Procedure – The laser reduces the length of time your child needs to spend in the dental chair. This is beneficial for young children who may have difficulty sitting still for lengthy periods.
Following the laser frenectomy, infants can typically resume nursing and older children can return to their normal activities almost immediately. Dr. Bublik and his team will provide detailed instructions on post-operative care. We may schedule a follow-up visit to monitor your child’s healing progress.

Common Questions About Frenectomy
While some children with tongue-ties don’t experience problems or it even loosens as they get older, a tongue-tie can often lead to future problems if ignored. Not being able to nurse properly can cause malnutrition. As they get older, your child may experience speech problems too.
The reasons for tongue-ties are relatively unknown, although genetics play a role. While it’s most common for infants and young children, it’s been seen in teens and older adults too. Not everyone has issues with a tongue-tie, though, so it may have gone unnoticed.
You should come for a consultation if you notice your child is having trouble latching on during breastfeeding. You may also notice poor suction while nursing, low weight gain or weight loss, limited movement of the tongue, or a high incidence of gas or acid reflux. Your dentist will perform an examination and determine if a frenectomy is right for you and your baby. The longer you wait, the more difficulties your child may have, so don’t hesitate to give us a call.
