No! At Orem Pediatric Dentistry, we never recommend lip pulling after a lip tie fix.  Lip pulling is a painful and outdated practice that reintroduces the cut and creates scarring around the wound site. Though some pediatric dentists may recommend lip pulling, our treatment makes lip pulling 100% unnecessary. Not only does our laser treatment create a virtually painless experience for your infant, but we also use a patented bandage and surgical glue that promotes healthy gum growth around the surgical site. Not all pediatric dentists use these options, but we have found it results in significantly better healing for your little one. Plus, this means that once the surgery is finished, it is done. No lip pulling or additional treatments necessary.
