Tongue-Tie Treatment (Frenectomy) in Pune
A quick release that helps feeding, speech and development.
Medically reviewed by Dr. Rajat Shaikh, MDS — Pediatric & Preventive Dentistry
Tongue-tie (ankyloglossia) is a restrictive band under the tongue that can affect a baby’s feeding and, later, speech and oral development — Happy Tooth’s pediatric specialist Dr. Rajat Shaikh releases tongue-tie and lip-tie with a quick, often laser-assisted frenectomy in Mohamadwadi, Pune.
A tongue-tie occurs when the small band of tissue under the tongue is too tight or short, limiting movement. In babies it can make breastfeeding difficult; in older children it can affect speech, eating and dental development.
Dr. Rajat Shaikh assesses and releases tongue-tie and lip-tie with a fast, gentle procedure — frequently using a laser for minimal bleeding and quick recovery.
