No. The WaterLase is so safe, we feel 100% confident using it with infants.  Not only is there no radiation involved, but  WaterLase surgery is far more precise and causes significantly less damage than traditional dental instruments. The WaterLase laser uses a beam of light, which shines through a tank of water charged with the antimicrobial compound, erbium chromium. This creates an ionized charge that breaks through enamel or soft tissue with the most accurate cut possible. The laser automatically cauterizes the wound, leading to faster healing, reduction in inflammation, and far less pain for the patient. Additionally, the WaterLase eliminates the risk of infection from lip tie or tongue tie treatments, making this the safest possible lip tie or tongue tie treatment for infants
