Frenectomy in The Woodlands, TX
Quick, Comfortable Treatment for Tongue-Tie and Lip-Tie in Children
What Is a Frenectomy?
A frenectomy is a simple, minimally invasive procedure used to release a tight or restrictive frenum—the tissue that connects the tongue to the floor of the mouth or the lips to the gums. When this tissue is too tight, it can cause difficulties with feeding, speech, breathing, or proper jaw and facial development.
By gently removing or loosening the frenum, a frenectomy can help restore natural movement and function. This procedure often leads to improved breastfeeding or bottle-feeding in infants, better speech in children, and enhanced oral health at any age when combined with proper follow-up care and therapy.

Difficulty Breastfeeding or Bottle-Feeding
A tight frenum can make it hard for babies to latch properly, causing nipple pain, ineffective feeding, gas, and poor weight gain despite regular nursing.

Speech Delays or Difficulties
Limited tongue movement from a tongue-tie can affect how children form sounds, making speech unclear and causing delays in speech development or articulation.

Mouth Breathing & Sleep Issues
Restricted oral tissues may contribute to mouth breathing, snoring, or disrupted sleep, which can impact focus, energy levels, and overall growth in children.

Gaps Between Teeth
A lip-tie can pull on the gums and cause spacing between the front teeth, interfering with natural alignment and possibly requiring future orthodontic care.

My children have been in her care their whole lives (I have a 3 year old and a 7 year old both of which are quite sassy! ) She’s always professional and I don’t know how she manages to get them to be absolute angels in her chair. I’m also a general dentist- she’s my number one call or text for any pediatric consult questions and I’m so grateful for her advice. Honestly she’s the highest level of care for your little ones! Best decision you could make for your child."
