At Healthy Kids Nurtured by Nature, we’re committed to providing the most comfortable, effective treatment options for lip and tongue ties in North Mackay. Our advanced approach prioritises your comfort while delivering exceptional results.

While traditional methods exist for treating lip and tongue ties, our practice exclusively uses state-of-the-art soft tissue laser technology for frenectomy procedures. This advanced approach offers significant advantages for patients of all ages:

Benefits of Laser Frenectomy

• Minimally Invasive: No cutting or sutures required
• Comfortable Experience: Virtually painless with minimal swelling
• Reduced Infection Risk: Laser naturally sterilises as it treats
• Accelerated Healing: Bio-stimulation promotes faster tissue recovery
• Quick Recovery: Significantly shorter healing time than conventional methods

Traditional Scissors Approach

When a tongue tie is released using scissors, the tissue is often very thin, creating a significant risk of bleeding during the procedure. For lip ties, which tend to be thicker and more vascular, traditional methods typically result in:

• More bleeding during the procedure
• Need for sutures to close the wound
• Requirement for the patient to remain completely still
• Often necessitates general anesthesia, especially for young children

Our Laser Advantage

Our soft tissue laser technology allows for:

• Precision Treatment: The laser focuses specifically on the restrictive tissue
• Simultaneous Procedures: Both lip and tongue ties can be addressed in a single visit
• Minimal Discomfort: Reduced need for extensive anesthesia
• No Stitches Required: The laser seals as it treats, eliminating the need for sutures
• Comfortable for All Ages: Makes treatment possible for even the youngest patients without general anesthesia

At Healthy Kids Nurtured by Nature, we believe in addressing not just the physical restriction but also supporting optimal function following treatment:

1. Thorough Assessment: We carefully evaluate the severity and impact of the lip or tongue tie
2. Personalised Treatment Plan: We develop a customised approach based on your specific needs
3. Gentle Laser Procedure: Our experienced team performs the frenectomy with maximum comfort
4. Comprehensive Aftercare: We provide detailed instructions for optimal healing
5. Follow-up Support: We monitor progress and make recommendations for complementary therapies when beneficial
