Better Latch, Less Pain for Mom

92% of nursing moms experience a significant reduction in nipple pain and longer, more effective feedings right after the procedure. We collaborate with local IBCLCs to provide same-day post-release consultations for optimal results.

Clearer Speech, Fewer Lisp Sounds

Children typically make faster progress in speech therapy after achieving full tongue mobility. Dr. Karl provides detailed release notes to share with your Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) for coordinated care and improved outcomes.

Post-Treatment Care & Stretching Guide

Following your child’s tongue or lip tie release, it’s important to prioritize post-treatment care to ensure effective healing and optimal results.

Major Insurance Providers Cover Laser

Most insurance providers consider tongue- and lip-tie releases as medically necessary procedures. For eligible infants, all fees are completely $0, ensuring cost is never a barrier. PPO insurance plans typically cover 80–100% of the procedure. We pre-authorize so you don’t worry.

Same-Day Consultation & Treatment

Live far away? We can frequently perform both the assessment and the CO₂-laser release during the same visit. Just let us know when booking your appointment.

Minimal Discomfort, Minimal Downtime

Most infants require only breastmilk or a small dose of Tylenol for comfort after the procedure. For school-age children, recovery is quick—they can typically return to class the very next day.

It is nice to take your kids to a dentist that kids like.

The Doctor and staff were AMAZING with my son (who has Autism). They were gentle, kind and treated my son just as any other child would be treated. Made the very stressful dental visit a little easier. Thank you Pediatric Dentistry of Forsyth!
