Babies as young as one week old can have their tongue ties treated by Dr. Reese, a dentist who practices oral surgery in Indianapolis.
Tongue-tie (ankyloglossia) happens when the string of tissue under your baby's tongue (frenulum) is too short. This occurs in approximately 4% of newborns.
The in-office procedure is safe and pain-free for the baby. The area is numbed and a small incision is made to perform the frenuloplasty.
Dr. Reese understands the benefits of breast feeding and that's why he has helped hundreds of children get better latches through frenuloplasty.
