Pediatric Frenectomies
If you're struggling with breastfeeding, a frenectomy might be the solution you've been searching for. A frenectomy is a simple and painless surgical procedure that can improve the quality of life for both you and your baby. It involves removing excess tissue in the frenulum, the small fold of tissue that connects the tongue to the floor of the mouth. When this tissue is tight or restrictive, it can limit your baby's mobility and hinder their ability to latch properly during breastfeeding. By undergoing a frenectomy, you can enhance your baby's feeding experience, promote better milk transfer, and alleviate discomfort for both you and your little one. Rest assured, this procedure is relatively quick and has a high success rate, providing a straightforward solution to a complex breastfeeding challenge.
Does my child really need a frenectomy?
Being told that your infant needs a surgical procedure can sound scary, but frenectomies are simple, safe, and effective with minimal aftercare. Plus, with a conservative approach to pediatric dentistry, your doctor will only recommend frenectomies when they deem them necessary. If you’ve been struggling with breastfeeding or noticing popping or clicking sounds while your child is feeding, it may be time to come in for a frenectomy consultation.
