Tongue & Lip Tie Release Available Right Here in Kewaskum
We’re ending the year with something special, a new service that’s already changing lives for families in our community. Starting this month, we are proud to offer tongue and lip tie evaluations and laser treatment right here in Kewaskum WI. You’ve trusted us with your family’s dental care for years, and now we’re expanding that same gentle, precise approach to help even our youngest patients feed, speak, and smile with confidence.
And here’s where you come in: we’re asking our patients, you, to help us spread the word. Many parents don’t realize that tongue and lip tie care is now available locally. Your voice can help the people who need it most find relief close to home. Read on to learn more.
What Are Tongue & Lip Ties?
Tongue and lip ties happen when the small piece of tissue that connects the tongue or lip to the mouth is too tight or thick. These tissues (called frenula) are supposed to move freely, but when they don’t, important daily activities like nursing, bottle feeding, swallowing, or speaking can become harder.
In infants, this might look like:
- Trouble nursing or staying latched
- Clicking sounds during feeding
- Fussiness or gas from swallowing air
- Poor weight gain despite feeding often
In children, signs might include:
- Difficulty pronouncing certain sounds
- Gaps between upper front teeth
- Trouble cleaning teeth properly or brushing comfortably
- Tension or discomfort when moving the tongue
It’s a small issue with a big impact — and until now, many local families had to travel out of town for treatment.
A Gentle, Precise Laser Solution
Unlike traditional methods that rely on scalpels or sutures, laser tongue and lip tie release offers a gentler and more comfortable approach. This advanced technology allows for minimal discomfort, and many babies can feed immediately after treatment. Because the procedure doesn’t involve cutting or stitching, children heal faster, with minimal bleeding or swelling.
The laser also provides precise control, making the procedure quicker and more efficient. In most cases, the entire treatment takes only a few minutes. For infants, tongue tie release can bring instant relief and improved feeding, while for children, it can make speaking, eating, and swallowing much easier.
Why We’re Sharing This Now
This new service is close to our hearts because we’ve seen firsthand how quickly it can change a child’s quality of life and how much relief it brings to parents. We also know that awareness of this important procedure is limited. Many families spend months trying to figure out why feeding or speech has been difficult, not realizing the cause could be something simple and treatable.
That’s why we wanted to tell you first. You’re already part of our dental family, and your recommendation carries weight in your circles. Whether it’s a new mom in your neighborhood, a friend struggling with breastfeeding, or a relative whose child has speech delays, your referral could make all the difference.
