If your little one has been diagnosed with a tongue tie due to a short or thick frenulum limiting their tongue mobility, you might be considering a frenectomy. It's not uncommon for newborns to be born with this condition, and many parents notice difficulties during feeding, speaking, or breastfeeding.
A frenectomy is a straightforward procedure designed to free up the tongue's movement. Typically, it takes just a few minutes and is performed right here in our office. During the procedure, the lingual frenulum, which is the skin beneath the tongue, is carefully cut or lasered to release tension. Post-procedure, minimal healing is expected, but parents play an important role in helping their child by gently stretching the newly released tissue to prevent regrowth.
Afterward, your child should stick to a soft diet—think things like pudding, applesauce, or yogurt—and steer clear of anything overly salty, acidic, or extreme in temperature. As the numbness fades and the area starts to heal, you can gradually reintroduce softer solids while ensuring food stays away from the surgical site.
Following these instructions ensures a smoother recovery and minimizes risks. Should you have any concerns or notice prolonged discomfort, don’t hesitate to reach out to us immediately. Our team is here to support you every step of the way.
