Lip-tie is a condition where the upper lip is tightly connected to the gums by a thick piece of tissue, known as the labial frenulum. This condition can restrict lip movement, leading to challenges such as difficulty in breastfeeding, speech impediments or oral hygiene issues. Recognizing the significance of addressing lip-tie early, Dr. Bob Johnson offers specialized care to help individuals overcome this condition and achieve optimal oral health.
Our Approach to Lip-Tie Release
At our practice, we understand that every patient’s needs are unique. The procedure for lip-tie release, also known as a frenectomy, is performed with precision and care to ensure comfort and effectiveness. Using advanced techniques, we gently release the tight tissue to allow for greater lip mobility. Our approach is designed to be minimally invasive, reducing discomfort and promoting quicker healing.
Benefits and Aftercare of Lip-Tie Release
The benefits of lip-tie release can be profound, especially for infants and young children who experience immediate improvement in breastfeeding and overall oral function. Following the procedure, we will guide you through a personalized aftercare plan that supports healing and enhances the outcome of the treatment.
- Improved breastfeeding for infants
- Enhanced speech development
- Better oral hygiene and reduced risk of dental issues
- Quick recovery time with proper care
