• Gentle Procedure

When treatment is recommended, Dr. Christy performs the release using a precise soft-tissue laser rather than traditional scissors (cold steel). Laser treatment is generally quicker and less invasive, with less bleeding and discomfort than traditional methods.

Quicker & Precise Release

Minimal Bleeding & Discomfort

Immediate Infant Comfort

The targeted light energy releases restricted tissue efficiently within minutes, minimizing time under treatment while preserving surrounding oral structures.

Unlike traditional scissors, the soft-tissue laser naturally cauterizes tissue as it works, resulting in minimal post-procedure soreness and significantly less bleeding.

Infants can latch and nurse immediately following the procedure, allowing mothers to offer soothing comfort and experience instant improvement in feeding dynamics.

Dr. Christy Haffner, a board-certified pediatric dentist, guides your family through every step. From the initial evaluation to post-procedure support, you'll have one dedicated expert ensuring clear answers and gentle, effective care.

Families travel from across Georgia and the Southeast for our specialized approach. We prioritize understanding your child's unique needs and providing a calm, reassuring experience tailored for infants and young children.
