One of the biggest misunderstandings about frenectomies is that the actual procedure is all that is needed to fix a baby with tongue tie. The goal when treating ties is to restore optimal oral function; however, in most cases, in addition to the frenectomy, both the parents and the child will need the help of multiple specialists in order to achieve this goal.
Finding the right help is important. As you can see below, there are many types of providers that fall under each broad category, but the MOST important quality to look for, no matter which type of provider you are searching for, is to make sure that they are educated in the problems related to ties and oral dysfunction this means they have taken EXTRA education in these areas.

We have had nothing but great experiences, including an after hours video call when our son fell and hurt his teeth.

Couldn't ask for a better experience. Thanks to Dr. Sakhi my child will grow up loving his dental exams and appreciating the benefits of good oral hygenie. I have never felt so comfortable or cared for as I do in this office. If you are looking for a pediatric dentist- look no farther.

My son has special needs and taking him to the dentist was at the top of my list of fears! Dr. Sakhi and the entire team at Tooth and Co made the whole experience enjoyable! The environment is welcoming and relaxing, the staff is friendly and kind! I wish they took adult patients!
