Why Laser Tongue & Lip Tie Treatment Is a Game-Changer for New Parents

Bringing a new baby home is one of life’s greatest joys—but it can also come with unexpected challenges. If your little one struggles with breastfeeding, bottle-feeding, or even early speech development, a tongue tie or lip tie may be the cause.

At Sawgrass Pediatric Dentistry, our specialized division—Sawgrass Untied—offers a gentle, high-tech solution that’s helping families across Myrtle Beach and Carolina Forest overcome these challenges with confidence and compassion.

What Are Tongue & Lip Ties?

A tongue tie (ankyloglossia) occurs when the tissue connecting the tongue to the floor of the mouth is too tight, restricting movement. Similarly, a lip tie happens when the tissue under the upper lip is unusually thick or short.

These conditions can lead to:

• Difficulty breastfeeding or bottle-feeding

• Poor weight gain in infants

• Gassiness or colic from swallowing excess air

• Pain or discomfort for nursing mothers

• Speech challenges later in childhood

Why Choose Laser Treatment?

Traditional tongue and lip tie procedures often involve scissors or scalpels. At Sawgrass Untied, we use advanced laser technology to perform a virtually pain-free release.

Benefits of laser treatment include:

• Gentle & Precise – The laser removes only the restricted tissue without harming surrounding areas.

• Minimal Discomfort – Most babies experience little to no bleeding and heal quickly.

• Faster Recovery – Infants can often feed immediately after treatment.

• Reduced Risk of Infection – Laser cauterization helps keep the area clean.
