Laser Tongue Tie

Laser Tongue Tie Treatment in Kepong

If your child or baby has difficulty with feeding, speech, or oral movement, a tongue tie may be the cause. At our dental clinic in Kepong, we offer laser tongue tie release—a quick, gentle, and minimally invasive procedure suitable for infants, children, and even adults.

What Is a Tongue Tie (Ankyloglossia)?

A tongue tie occurs when the lingual frenulum (the tissue connecting the underside of the tongue to the floor of the mouth) is too short or tight, restricting tongue movement. This can lead to issues with:

• Breastfeeding or bottle feeding in infants
• Speech development in toddlers and children
• Oral hygiene and dental health in adults
• Difficulty swallowing, licking, or clearing food

Benefits of Laser Tongue Tie Release

• Minimally invasive and safe for all ages
• Little to no bleeding due to laser cauterization
• Faster healing and less discomfort
• No need for sutures
• Short procedure time—usually under 10 minutes

Why Choose Laser Over Traditional Methods?

Compared to scissors or scalpel techniques, laser treatment offers higher precision and reduces trauma to the surrounding tissue. It also minimizes the risk of infection and improves comfort during recovery.

Who Needs a Tongue Tie Treatment?

• Babies with poor latch during breastfeeding
• Children with delayed or unclear speech
• Individuals with limited tongue mobility
• Teens or adults experiencing discomfort or tension under the tongue

Our Laser Tongue Tie Procedure in Kepong

Our experienced dental team will first assess the severity of the tongue tie. If needed, we perform the laser frenectomy using a soft tissue dental laser. The process is quick, and most patients can resume normal activity shortly after the procedure.

Post-Treatment Support

We also provide guidance on aftercare, including oral exercises or speech therapy referrals (if needed), to ensure long-term success and function.

Don't let a tongue tie affect your or your child's quality of life. Book a consultation today with our team in Kepong to learn more about laser tongue tie treatment.
