Infant Frenectomies with Lightscalpel Dental CO₂ Laser

A ‎dental laser infant frenectomy is a simple procedure, typically taking less than 10-30 seconds. Lip tie release and tongue tie release procedures do not require sutures, and generally result in minimal post-procedure discomfort. Frenectomy also allows newborn babies the ability to latch on and breastfeed when they might not previously have been able, leading to appropriate weight gain that was un-obtainable before the procedure. For these lip tie and tongue tie release frenectomies, Dr. Martin Kaplan uses a LightScalpel LS-1005 CO₂ Dental Laser with Angled Tipless handpiece.
