Does Your Child Have a Tongue or Lip-Tie?
![divider-01-free-img divider-01-free-img](https://thekiddsplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/divider-01-free-img-1.png)
Approximately 10% of children born in the US do.
A tongue-tie or lip-tie is a congenital condition that restricts the movement and function of the tongue or upper lip.
This condition hinders your baby's ability to latch and feed from day one. As your child ages, this can lead to:
- Improper facial development
- Gag reflux and feeding issues
- Sleeping and breathing issues
- Speech delays or impairments
- Orthodontic problems
Dr. Cathy uses a gentle CO2 laser to treat this. It takes less than a minute and typically doesn't require anesthesia. There's less bleeding, no trauma, and you can feed your baby before you leave.
