But if your newest arrival experiences something known as tongue or lip tie, he\u2019ll have trouble successfully performing the act. That\u2019s likely to leave him feeling hungry and frustrated &#8212; and the new mother completely stressed out. Fortunately, a wonderful solution is available with a quick frenectomy in Tulsa. It\u2019s a simple surgery performed at Oklahoma Sleep Solutions that can help your little one\u2019s tongue move freely to enable successful nursing. Keep reading to learn about the procedure, and to find if it may be the solution you\u2019re seeking today!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Frenectomies in Tulsa correct lip and tongue tie<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some symptoms of the condition during infancy include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Difficulty breastfeeding, which results in failure to gain weight on schedule<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fussiness after feeding that indicates he\u2019s still hungry<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clicking, struggling sounds during feeding<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The dentist prefers to perform a frenectomy as soon as the problem is discovered to prevent further problems down the line, like inability to perform proper oral hygiene, speech difficulties and orthodontic problems. The procedure can be performed at any age, but it\u2019s easiest in infancy.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How the frenectomy procedure works<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll be relieved to know your baby\u2019s feeding troubles can be solved with the simple frenectomy procedure. To perform a frenectomy, the dentist uses a precise laser to detach the extra tissue from beneath the lip or tongue &#8212; \u201cuntying\u201d it and allowing the area to move freely during feeding. The procedure is quick, usually just about five minutes, and requires nothing more than a simple topical anaesthetic. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After-care following frenectomy<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Breastfeeding is totally fine right after a frenectomy &#8212; in fact, because breast milk contains the amazing nutrients crucial for your little one\u2019s recovery, it\u2019s fully encouraged. Babies older than two months who experience discomfort can take an acetaminophen for relief. Perform the tongue or lip stretches as recommended for proper healing, and your baby will be fully recovered in no time!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Schedule your baby\u2019s consultation for frenectomy today<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you suspect your little one\u2019s troubles breastfeeding are due to lip or tongue tie?
