A to Z on Laser-Assisted Pediatric Frenectomies
About This Event
In this CE webinar, Dr. Poplin will review common problems related to tongue-ties and lip-ties, such as breastfeeding, speech, and dental issues. He will then discuss how the 9.3-micron CO2 all-tissue laser enables efficient, precise frenectomies, with minimal bleeding, minimal post-op discomfort and remarkably rapid healing. During this CE webinar, we will discuss anatomy, diagnosis, treatment planning, and post-treatment care; explain procedural examples of lingual frenectomy and maxillary labial frenectomy to understand the diagnosis and treatment of TOTs pathology in children; understand the rationale for laser-assisted treatment of tongue-tie and lip-tie as it relates to breastfeeding, maxillary diastemas, and speech; summarize the science behind the 9.3-micron CO2 laser’s efficient, blood-free soft tissue cutting.
