Tongue & Lip Tie Releases for Kids in Toronto
Improve feeding, speech, and comfort with quick, effective tongue and lip tie procedures.

Tongue and lip ties can affect infants and children in various ways, including feeding, speech, and sleep issues. If a release is necessary, we use state-of-the-art carbon dioxide laser technology for a safe, quick procedure that increases the mobility of the tongue and/or lip. This method is preferred due to minimal pain, reduced bleeding, and faster wound healing.
