OUR PEDIATRIC TONGUE-TIE CENTER

If your baby has difficulty latching or breastfeeding—or if your toddler or child struggles with chewing, speaking, or snoring—they may have a tongue-tie or lip-tie, a condition that limits the natural movement of the tongue or lips.

At Wake Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry, our Pediatric Tongue-Tie Center in both Raleigh and Garner provides gentle, precise treatment using advanced laser technology. Led by our frenectomy specialist, Dr. Kornstein, we perform laser frenectomies that are quick, minimally invasive, and designed with your child’s comfort in mind. Our goal is simple: to help babies and children feed, speak, and grow with confidence and ease.

IN-HOUSE SEDATION FOR STRESS-FREE PEDIATRIC DENTAL VISITS

At Wake Orthodontics & Pediatric Dentistry, we know dental treatment can feel intimidating for kids. Our Garner office offers safe, convenient in-house sedation, all monitored by our highly-qualified dentist anesthesiologist, Dr. Pritts.
We tailor each sedation plan to your child’s needs, helping reduce dental anxiety and make dental procedures easier. With expert, on-site care and constant monitoring, we safely make dental visits more comfortable for children of all ages, including those with special health or behavioral needs.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Pediatric dental cleaning wake orthodontics and pediatric dentistry

We recommended that children see a pediatric dentist by their first birthday or within six months after their first tooth erupts. Early dental visits allow the dentist to monitor the development of the child’s teeth and gums, provide guidance on oral hygiene practices, and address any concerns or potential issues at an early stage.

During your child’s first dental visit, our pediatric dentist will focus on creating a positive and comfortable experience. The visit may involve:

  • A review of your child’s medical and dental history
  • A gentle examination of the teeth, gums, and jaw to assess oral health and development
  • Guidance on oral hygiene practices, including brushing and flossing techniques suitable for your child’s age
  • Discussion on nutrition and diet habits that promote healthy teeth
  • Recommendations for preventive measures, such as fluoride supplementation or dental sealants, if needed
  • Addressing any questions or concerns you may have regarding your child’s oral health

The goal of the first visit is to establish a foundation of trust between the child, parent, and dentist, ensuring that subsequent visits are more comfortable and stress-free for everyone involved.

Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings made of plastic material that are applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth (molars and premolars). They act as a barrier, sealing off the deep grooves and pits on the tooth surfaces, which are particularly vulnerable to decay. Visit our page on dental sealants to learn more about it.

During orthodontic treatment, some discomfort or soreness may be experienced, especially after adjustments or when new appliances are placed. This discomfort is temporary and typically subsides within a few days as the mouth adjusts to the changes. We recommend Tylenol or Advil to help alleviate any discomfort or pain. Your orthodontist will provide guidance on managing any discomfort throughout the treatment process.

Orthodontic appliances can vary based on the individual’s specific needs and treatment goals. Some commonly used appliances include:

Braces: Traditional braces consist of brackets bonded to the teeth, connected by archwires that apply gentle pressure to move the teeth into the desired positions. They can be made from metal or tooth-colored materials for a more discreet appearance.

Clear aligners: Clear aligner systems, such as Invisalign®, use a series of transparent, removable trays to gradually shift the teeth. Our patients who are looking for a more discreet treatment option and ability to work on their smile on their schedule love working with clear aligners!

Retainers: After orthodontic treatment, retainers are often provided to maintain the newly achieved alignment. We proudly offer both permanent and removable retainers, depending on what fits your lifestyle!

After the active phase of orthodontic treatment is complete, the retention phase begins. During this phase, a retainer is provided to help maintain the newly aligned teeth in their new positions. Retainers can be removable or fixed, and your orthodontist will advise you on how often and for how long to wear them. It is essential to follow the orthodontist’s instructions regarding retainer use to prevent any relapse and ensure long-term stability of the results achieved through orthodontic treatment.
