Looking for the best place for your child to undergo a laser frenectomy, tongue tie, lip tie, or cheek tie in Tenafly, NJ?<\/p>\n
Tongue ties, lip ties, and cheek ties are also known as tethered oral tissues (TOTS). Ties are caused by a frenum, a fibrous tissue that connects and holds other tissues in place. Sometimes a frenum might be short, thick, or tight and might extend too far down along the tongue, gum, palate, or cheeks to result in a tongue tie, lip tie, or cheek tie. When a frenum is positioned to interfere with normal function or constrict the movement of the tongue, lips, or cheeks, it can be corrected by a surgery called a frenectomy.<\/p>\n
At East Madison Dental in Tenafly, our treatment philosophy is symptom-driven, meaning will only perform a frenectomy if our dentists<\/a> detect an impediment to tongue function.<\/p>\nTongue Ties<\/h3>\n
