What Are Lip &
Tongue-Ties?

Know the Signs

Lip and tongue-ties occur when the frenum, which is a band of tissue that connects the lips to the gums and the tongue to the floor of the mouth, becomes overgrown or too thick while in utero. If it restricts oral mobility enough, a professional like Dr. Singh may recommend a treatment to address the symptoms, called a frenectomy.

Dr. Singh was amazing! My 5 week old had a lip and tongue tie and Dr. Singh took the time to talk about the procedure and made me feel so safe and confident with the procedure. Hours after the procedure Dr. Singh texted to check on my daughter.

How do I find the best place to get lip & tongue tie treatment done?

When choosing a provider for lip and tongue-tie treatment, it’s important to look for a specialist with experience in pediatric care. They should use gentle, precise methods, like soft tissue lasers, to ensure safe, comfortable frenectomy treatment.

What extra training does it take to be a lip & tongue-tie specialist?

Lip and tongue-tie specialists, like Dr. Amar, must first complete a dental doctorate program. After earning their degree, many dentists who pursue a specialty in lip and tongue-ties undergo advanced training through pediatric residencies. For those striving to be the best in the field, the next big step is becoming board-certified as a pediatric dentist.

This certification involves additional specialized training to meet rigorous standards that few dentists in the field achieve. In fact, Dr. Amar is one of only 38% of all pediatric dentists who hold board certification!
