Frenectomy Procedure in Dubuque, IA
Imagine taking your child to the dentist for a procedure using drills, needles, and sedation. Undoubtedly, it would be a scary and traumatic experience for both you and your child. Now, imagine going into your dentist’s office for the same procedure and learning that a dental laser could be used to perform the necessary treatment without drills, needles, or sedation.
Fortunately, the Solea dental laser can perform gentle dental treatments on teeth or gums. Whether it’s a simple cavity or a complex surgery, your child’s treatment can be virtually pain and blood-free without the need for anesthesia or sutures.

Tongue and Lip Ties from Wildflower Kids Dentistry
When children are born with excess connective tissue on their tongue or lip, it can be difficult for them to breathe, chew, swallow, or nurse. Our dental office uses a LightScalpel laser instead of scalpels and sutures to delicately remove this excess tissue in a procedure known as a frenectomy.
Instead of being a painful and difficult treatment, the LightScalpel allows us to perform accurate frenectomies and remove the excess connective tissue. This revolutionary laser enables us to remove only the minimum amount of tissue. This reduces pain, swelling, and discomfort dramatically. Gone are the days when parents and their infants had to suffer through this painful procedure. Many babies don’t even cry!
