What's proper care after a tongue or lip tie release?

Proper aftercare following tongue and lip tie release procedures is crucial for a successful recovery. It helps promote healing, reduce discomfort, and prevent complications. 

• After the procedure, it's important to follow the dentist's instructions diligently. This may include gentle stretches or exercises to prevent reattachment of the ties.
• Good oral hygiene is essential during the healing process. Gently cleaning around the wound site can help prevent infection and promote faster healing.
• It's normal for babies or children to experience some discomfort after the procedure. Providing pain relief, as the dentist recommends, can help keep them comfortable during this time.
• Regular follow-up appointments with our dentists are necessary to monitor progress and address any concerns arising during the healing process.

By prioritizing proper aftercare, you can support your child's recovery and ensure optimal outcomes following tongue and lip tie release procedures.
