These images are CO2 LightScalpel laser frenectomy Tongue Tie cases at Stonebrook Pediatric Dentistry. The release providers were Dr. Bhaumik and Dr. John and SPD team.
The patient was a 5-year-old male. History of difficulty latching as a baby but no signs of speech delay. The mother received an ENT recommendation to remove her tonsils due to chronic allergies, snoring, and difficulty keeping her mouth closed when sleeping. The parent was hesitant about having their child go under general anesthesia. Based on clinical findings, Dr. Bhaumik and Dr. John recommended MYOFUNCTIONAL (OMT) THERAPY and lingual frenectomy to address tongue tie. OMT was utilized to improve tongue posture at rest/sleep. Long term goal is that by improving tongue posture and promoting nasal breathing/closed mouth breathing, the child’s tonsil size will decrease and improve the airway. The child displayed immediate improvement in tongue mobility.
