There are range of conditions that may cause concern in relation to a child’s oral health, as well as their functional development. This can include lip ties, tongue ties, erupted teeth and small swellings. Dr Evelyn Yeung and Dr Linda Huang have had additional training to provide surgical procedures using a diode laser. Some of the procedures provided (but not limited to) include:
- Removal and biopsy of soft tissue lesions i.e. mucoceles
- Lip tie release (upon referral)
- Anterior tongue tie release (upon referral)
- Surgical exposure of unerupted teeth
- Removal of excess soft tissues
Pending the procedure required and age of the patient, sedation may be required. The most appropriate form of management will be discussed at length.
