Leaving it untreated can cause a variety of issues with feeding, oral hygiene and communication. The waterlase is a safe, precise and less invasive way to treat frenum restrictions allowing patients to have faster healing with less pain and fewer complications in contrast to traditional methods i.e. dental drills. Waterlase helps to eliminate the vibration and pressure associated with a drill. By minimising these elements, it fosters a more relaxed and anxiety-free dental experience.<\/p>\n<h4>Signs and Symptoms<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-753-1-0-1\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_siteorigin-panels-builder\" data-index=\"3\" ><div class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-753-1-0-1\" ><div id=\"pl-w691bfa6603655\"  class=\"panel-layout\" ><div id=\"pg-w691bfa6603655-0\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\" ><div class=\"panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-w691bfa6603655-0\" ><div id=\"pgc-w691bfa6603655-0-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-w691bfa6603655-0-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"0\" ><div class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-w691bfa6603655-0-0-0\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<p><strong>TONGUE TIE:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Difficulty feeding (in infants)<\/li>\n<li>Dental issues<\/li>\n<li>Limited tongue mobility<\/li>\n<li>Speech difficulties<\/li>\n<li>Pain or discomfort<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-w691bfa6603655-0-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-w691bfa6603655-0-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"1\" ><div class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-w691bfa6603655-0-1-0\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<p><strong>LIP-TIE:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Gaps between the front teeth<\/li>\n<li>Speech difficulties<\/li>\n<li>Difficulty breastfeeding<\/li>\n<li>Receding gums<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-753-1-0-2\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor\" data-index=\"4\" ><div class=\"colCell panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-753-1-0-2\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h4>Breastfeeding<\/h4>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-797 size-medium alignright\" style=\"font-size: 14px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.countrydentalcambridge.ca\/kids\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/lip-tie-300x226.jpg\" alt=\"Breastfeeding\" width=\"300\" height=\"226\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.countrydentalcambridge.ca\/kids\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/lip-tie-300x226.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.countrydentalcambridge.ca\/kids\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/lip-tie-768x578.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.countrydentalcambridge.ca\/kids\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/lip-tie.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>A frenectomy benefits with breastfeeding as it increases Breast Milk Production enabling the baby\u2019s tongue to move more freely, effectively creating a stronger latch. If a baby has a tongue-tie, it can cause the mother significant pain during breastfeeding due to an improper latch, causing complications towards her. Dr Anoushe will assist in figuring out whether your child's breastfeeding issue is due to the frenum and if a frenectomy is the best option for your baby.<\/p>\n<p>After a frenectomy, the baby\u2019s improved ability to latch correctly can substantially reduce nipple soreness and discomfort. A tongue-tie or lip-tie can cause the baby to take in excessive amounts of air while breastfeeding, leading to gassiness and colic. By improving the latch the baby may then experience fewer crying episodes, and a better sleep, ultimately supporting their growth and well-being.<\/p>\n<h4>How is this treatment carried out?<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>To improve range of motion, the frenum beneath the tongue or upper lip is removed by the laser light.<\/li>\n<li>The laser technology virtually eliminates bleeding and causes very little discomfort.<\/li>\n<li>It decreases the risk of infection and potential post-operative complications. By using dental lasers it significantly reduces swelling, bleeding and discomfort.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The laser treatment is used within various treatments.
