Watch Amber share her family's frenectomy journey with baby Beckett
Amber & Beckett — real Inspire Dental Wellness family
Does This Sound Like Your Baby?
Tongue and lip ties can make feeding stressful for both you and your little one. Here's what many parents notice:
Painful or Shallow Latch
Nursing feels more like a battle than a bonding moment — sore, cracked, dreading the next feed.
Feeding Takes Forever
Sessions drag on for 45+ minutes with your baby fussing, unlatching, and never seeming satisfied.
Slow Weight Gain
Despite constant feeding, your baby isn't gaining weight the way your pediatrician expects.
Clicking or Popping Sounds
You hear a "click" when baby tries to latch — a tell-tale sign of a tongue or lip restriction.
Milk Leaking or Dribbling
Baby can't form a proper seal, so milk spills from the corners of their mouth during feeds.
Gassy, Colicky, or Reflux
A poor seal means baby swallows excess air, leading to painful gas, fussiness, and spit-up.
I wish we had done it sooner. The difference in Beckett's latch was almost immediate — and feeding finally felt the way it was supposed to.
— Amber, Beckett's Mom

Questions Parents Often Ask
Does the procedure hurt my baby?
The LightScalpel CO₂ laser is incredibly precise and gentle. Most babies cry briefly — often more from being held still than from discomfort — and are nursing or bottle-feeding within minutes afterward.
How old does my baby need to be?
We see infants as young as a few days old. In fact, earlier treatment often means easier healing and faster feeding improvement. There's no minimum age requirement.
How quickly will I see improvement?
Many parents — like Amber — notice a difference in latch quality at the very first feeding after the procedure. Full healing typically takes about two weeks with simple at-home stretches.
Do you accept insurance?
Inspire Dental Wellness is a fee-for-service practice, which means we're not in-network with insurance plans. However, we submit claims on your behalf so you can receive any out-of-network benefits you may be entitled to. We'll walk you through everything at your consultation.
What if I'm not sure it's a tongue tie?
That's exactly what the consultation is for. Dr. Erica will do a thorough evaluation and explain what she sees — no pressure, no obligation. If a release isn't needed, she'll tell you.
