Santa Cruz Childrens Dental Care

Approximately 5 percent of newborn babies have breastfeeding difficulties due to a short frenum attachment under their tongue; this is sometimes referred to as tongue-tie. Warning signs of tongue-tie can be painful nursing, inconsistent sleep patterns, baby not getting enough to eat, and an exhausted mom. This can be corrected by a simple, harmless procedure called a frenotomy. Our skilled board-certified dentists use the latest in dental laser technology to release the frenum and provide relief for both baby and Mom.
