FAMILY DENTISTRY – TONGUE TIE
New Moms, do you have breastfeeding issues? Is your baby “tongue tied”?
When a baby has a tight frenulum, or “tongue tie”, it may restrict the mobility of the tongue and cause the baby breastfeeding problems. This is because the tongue experiences issues getting under the nipple to maintain a good latch. A physician, pediatrician, or lactation consultant can detect the problem and suggest treatment for the tongue tie. Tongue tie treatment is most commonly performed by a dentist. Without treatment, there is a risk of unsuccessful nursing, and the patient may experience speech problems later in life.

Family Dentistry in Burlington – Family Dentist Burlington
The best way to keep your smile healthy is by cultivating good oral hygiene. And a great way to build up good oral hygiene habits is by starting at an early age with the right direction from your family dentist. It’s recommended that children start seeing the dentist by the age of 1, when the teeth have already started to develop. Baby teeth start to develop at 6 months and they should be cleaned and checked to ensure they stay healthy. Baby teeth are important for the development of speaking, chewing and the healthy development of permanent teeth later on. Our Maple Mews team loves treating children, and we encourage good oral hygiene habits that will last you a lifetime.
Both adults and children should visit the dentist every six months for a dental examination and dental cleaning (hygiene appointment). These dental visits allow the dentist to check and treat oral problems, such as decay, gum disease, chipped or cracked teeth, and screen for oral cancer. We strive to help you have a smile that can last you a lifetime. We take pride in providing family & cosmetic dentistry to the Burlington community since 1996.
