Lip and tongue ties are conditions in which the tissue connecting the lip or tongue to the mouth is too tight or thick. This can limit the range of motion and cause various issues, such as difficulties with breastfeeding, speech development, and oral hygiene. Traditionally, lip and tongue tie treatment involved cutting the frenulum with a scalpel or scissors, which can cause bleeding, pain and prolonged healing.
Here at Soothe Dental Goulburn, we leverage cutting-edge laser technology to provide the gentlest, most effective care available. Our advanced lip and tongue tie treatment minimises discomfort, reduces bleeding and promotes healing. Located in the heart of Goulburn, our clinic is committed to ensuring your comfort and health with every visit.
