What Is Laser Tongue Tie Removal?


Laser tongue tie removal is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a dental laser to release the lingual frenulum, the band of tissue connecting the underside of the tongue to the floor of the mouth. When this tissue is too tight or short, it causes ankyloglossia, commonly called tongue tie. The laser releases the restriction precisely, with minimal bleeding and no stitches needed in most cases. It is a specific form of laser frenectomy focused on the lingual frenulum alone.

What to Expect After Tongue Tie Removal?


Recovery after laser tongue tie removal is generally quick. Most patients resume normal daily activity within a day or two, though this varies by case and age. In the days following the procedure:

  • Mild soreness or sensitivity in the treated area is normal and usually settles within a few days
  • Soft foods are recommended during the initial healing period
  • Gentle stretching exercises may be prescribed to help prevent the lingual frenulum from reattaching during healing
  • Reattachment is a possible risk if post-procedure care instructions are not followed
  • Feeding or speech improvement may take time after the procedure
  • Some children may still benefit from speech therapy to retrain tongue movement after the release
