Pediatric Frenectomy (For Lip & Tongue Tie) in Pompano Beach, FL
A frenectomy is recommended when a tight or restrictive frenum limits normal movement of the tongue or lip. At Izzy’s Kidz Dentistry, we provide pediatric frenectomy care in Pompano Beach, FL for children with concerns related to tongue ties and lip ties. Our team evaluates your child’s oral tissues, tongue or lip movement, dental development, and individual needs before discussing whether a frenectomy or laser treatment may be appropriate. We provide child-friendly care and clear guidance so parents understand their child’s treatment options.
Gentle Frenectomy Care for Children
Children can have different types of restrictive frenums that affect how the tongue or lips move. A lingual frenulum connects the underside of the tongue to the floor of the mouth, while a maxillary or labial frenulum connects the upper lip to the gum tissue. When these tissues are unusually tight or restrictive, they may limit normal oral movement. A pediatric frenectomy removes or releases the restrictive tissue when treatment is appropriate for the child.
At Izzy’s Kidz Dentistry, we do not recommend a frenectomy based on the appearance of the tissue alone. Our pediatric dental team looks at how the frenum relates to your child’s oral function, dental development, and individual concerns. Depending on the evaluation, treatment may involve a tongue-tie release, lip-tie release, lingual frenectomy, maxillary frenectomy, or laser frenectomy. Parents receive clear information about the recommended treatment and what to expect before moving forward.

Why Choose Izzy’s Kidz Dentistry for Pediatric Frenectomy?
A frenectomy involves more than treating a small area of oral tissue. Your child’s age, development, oral function, and specific concerns all matter when deciding whether treatment is appropriate. Our pediatric dental team takes these factors into account while providing care in an environment designed around children.
Pediatric-Focused Care
Our frenectomy services address both tongue ties and lip ties, including lingual and maxillary frenectomies when appropriate.
Individual Evaluation
We evaluate the frenum and consider tongue or lip mobility and your child’s overall oral needs before discussing treatment.
Tongue and Lip Tie Care
Our frenectomy services address both tongue ties and lip ties, including lingual and maxillary frenectomies when appropriate.
Laser Therapy
Laser treatment may be used for certain pediatric frenectomy procedures. We discuss the recommended approach with parents based on the child’s individual needs.
Pediatric Dental Care for Growing Smiles
Dr. Izzy provides pediatric dental care for infants, children, and adolescents. His training in pediatric dentistry includes caring for children at different stages of dental and oral development, helping him understand how treatment can differ as a child grows.
His approach focuses on creating a comfortable dental experience while giving parents clear information about their child’s oral health. When a child has a tongue tie, lip tie, or other concern involving the oral tissues, an evaluation helps determine whether treatment is needed and which approach may be appropriate.
Benefits of Pediatric Frenectomy
A frenectomy may be considered when restrictive oral tissue affects a child’s normal tongue or lip movement. The potential benefit depends on the child’s specific anatomy and the reason treatment is being considered.
Supports Tongue Mobility
Releasing restrictive lingual tissue may allow greater freedom of tongue movement when a tongue tie is limiting mobility. An evaluation helps determine whether the restriction is affecting your child’s oral function.
Addresses Lip Movement
Treatment of a restrictive lip tie may improve movement of the affected lip when the frenum is contributing to a functional concern. An evaluation helps determine whether treatment may be appropriate for your child’s anatomy and symptoms.
Supports Oral Function
Treatment of a restrictive lip tie may improve movement of the affected lip when the frenum is contributing to a functional concern. The need for treatment depends on your child’s anatomy and symptoms.

From scheduling to leaving our visit, every step felt kind, professional, and tailored to my child specifically. The atmosphere is clean and pleasant and the dentist and his wife helped my daughter feel very much a part of the experience. I also learned a few tips that we did not to help at home for her dental hygiene! After having found them, we will go no where else!
