Tongue & Lip Tie Program
Better Sleep. Clearer Speech. Easier Feeding.
Discover what’s possible when tethered oral tissues are released with intention.
Feeding struggles, speech delays, and poor sleep? These aren’t just developmental quirks — they’re warning signs of tongue and lip tie.
At SouthPark Pediatric Dentistry, we combine advanced laser techniques with true interdisciplinary care to resolve tongue and lip ties at the root. No guesswork. No assembly-line releases. Just precision, clarity, and support.

Not always. We evaluate not just the appearance of the tissue, but how it impacts function (feeding, speech, breathing, sleep). If a tongue and lip tie is not causing issues, treatment may not be necessary. If it is, early intervention can make a lasting difference.
