Cosmetic Dentistry

While cosmetic dental procedures improve your smile's appearance and beauty, the procedures do so much more for you. This might include increasing your self-esteem, improving your overall health, and ensuring that you have a healthy smile that lasts a lifetime. 

When you contact your cosmetic dentist, you will want to share your goals for your smile to ensure you have all the information and possible procedures to improve your dental health. You might be looking for something minor, like fixing a chipped tooth. However, other methods are more in-depth and may take more time and conversation. 

Some other procedures that you might talk to your cosmetic dentist about are a gap between your teeth, tooth discoloration, misshapen teeth, or you might have some teeth that are misaligned. No matter the goal or what you are looking for, it is good to start with a thorough consultation with your cosmetic dentist to decide together the next best steps.

Lip Tie - What You Need To Know

However, when your little one has a lip tie it can be very difficult. Your baby may become increasingly fussy because they are not able to eat properly or latch. A lip tie may not be threatening at first, if your baby is not able to get their nutrition, it can create problems later on for your growing little one.

Cosmetic Procedures That Can Change Your Smile

Don’t Forget The Lip Tie Exercises

It is not enough to have a maxillary lip or tongue tie procedure without getting the important after care instructions. Without the proper stretching after your baby has had their procedure you run the risk that the lip or tongue tie will not heal properly causing you to continue to have problems with nursing. While the procedure usually improves nursing immediately, it does mean that there is still work to be done. Following the after-care instructions will also help with faster healing. Two raw surfaces in your baby’s mouth can cause the wound to reattach.

            Depending on the type of procedure your baby had done will depend on the type of stretches that are recommended. If your baby is impacted by a tongue tie, you will want to begin by doing one set of stretches the evening of the surgery. Then the next day you will want to do up to 6x a day and continue this for the first three weeks and then back off from there. These stretches can be painful for your little one and a little bit of bleeding is not uncommon.

            During the exercises for a tongue tie it is important to keep in mind that you will need to do three different stretches and you want to make sure that you keep the diamond in mind. By massaging on the sides of the diamond and unfolding the diamond so that it is almost flat you will minimize the risk of the tongue tie reattaching.
