No. Infection used to be a significant concern among pediatricians, making lip tie and tongue tie fixes a controversial treatment. However, our laser treatment eliminates the risk of infection by cauterizing the wound site. Plus, our expert pediatric dentist uses a patented bandage and surgical glue that promotes healthy gum growth around the surgical site. If you have further concerns about the risk of infection, please feel bring it up during your free consultation with Dr. Howell. Call to schedule now: 801.802.7200
