The information about
lip and tongue tie has only recently been evaluated and provided to
breastfeeding parents. While this is not new, you may have been a parent who in
the past has been misled, given wrong information or have been unsure whether
your baby is in need of surgery. Now there is help, Dr. Judy Strutz and her
team can help provide you the answers you need.
It is important if
your baby is struggling to properly latch while breastfeeding that you look
into the problem further. Many new mom’s think it’s a problem with them. You’re
not alone in feeling this way. When in fact it may be a thick piece of skin,
that is causing problems. A consultation with Dr. Strutz can confirm that your
baby is impacted by either a tongue or lip tie.
Once the consultation
is completed, a laser procedure can be preformed. This procedure is a very
short oral procedure and most mothers can successfully breastfeed shortly after
the procedure. After care stretching will need to be performed in order to
ensure proper healing of the wound.
Don’t suffer in
silence, prosthodontist Dr. Strutz and her team can answer your questions about
lip and tongue tie today.
