If you have any of these concerns with your children, your child may be tongue and/or lip tied. Infants can be seen by Dr. Wonderly as soon as the problem becomes evident, as early as the day after birth. Use of a CO2 laser for treatment eliminates the need to place infants in the operating room or the need for drugs for treatment. The laser allows minimal bleeding, discomfort and no stitches. Dr. Wonderly is also a breathe baby ambassador through The Breathe Institute.
