Visit Our Team for Pain-Free Tongue-Tie Treatment
At Dental Center of Jacksonville, we understand how a tongue-tie problem can affect daily activities like eating, speaking, and swallowing. We’ve successfully treated children and adults with tongue-ties, helping them achieve better oral function and quality of life. We’ll evaluate your specific situation and create a customized treatment plan for your unique needs.
Our gentle frenectomy procedure using advanced electrosurgery technology offers a modern solution to this common condition. The tongue-tie procedure itself is straightforward. Your dentist will use gentle electrosurgery to release the restricted tissue, allowing immediate improvement in tongue movement and function. Most patients report minimal discomfort and can return to normal activities the same day.
Benefits of choosing electrosurgery for tongue-tie treatment include:
- Extremely precise treatment
- Quick procedure time (usually under 15 minutes)
- Immediate improvement in tongue movement
- Sterile technique that reduces risk of infection
While the procedure is typically painless, we offer several comfort options to ensure a relaxed experience. For both children and adults who feel nervous, we can provide safe inhaled sedation (laughing gas) that wears off quickly after the procedure. Adults also have the option of oral conscious sedation for complete relaxation during treatment.

Common Questions About Tongue-Tie Treatment
-
While some children with tongue-ties don’t experience problems or it even loosens as they get older, a tongue-tie can often lead to future problems if ignored. For example, as they get older, your child may experience speech problems or trouble eating.
-
The reasons for tongue-ties are relatively unknown, although genetics play a role. While it’s most common for infants and young children, it’s been seen in teens and older adults too. Not everyone has issues with a tongue-tie, though, so it may have gone unnoticed.
-
A frenectomy using electrosurgery technology is generally a low-pain procedure. Your child may feel some mild discomfort during and shortly after the treatment, but this is usually minimal. Most children recover quickly and can return to their normal activities soon after the procedure.
