Proper breastfeeding, lactation consulting, and treatment for tongue ties with our in-house Nurse Practitioner: Michelle Barone. Click to learn more about Michelle.

Treatment begins with consultation and education of parents. The tongue tie release, known as a frenectomy, is done quickly and comfortably by using a specialized laser known as a CO₂  laser. Michelle provides follow-up and helps to ensure the treatment is successful, parents are supported, and the post-operative discomfort or relapse is minimal.

At Evergreen Dental Care, we share a space with Archway Myo, a team of professionals dedicated to restoring normal function of the muscles of the face and neck through an exercise-based program known as Myofunctional Therapy.

This research-proven therapy not only strengthens the muscles of the tongue, mouth, and face, but also re-patterns neuromuscular connections to establish new, healthy habits.

Archway Myo helps with Tongue Ties, Mouth Breathing, Orthodontic Support, Sleep Disordered Breathing, TMJ, Head and Neck Pain, or Oral Habit Elimination.

Dr. Sidon and Dr. Evans have dedicated themselves to learning about the warning signs of early airway issues that can affect children or develop into problems in adulthood.

Treatment can often be simple. This may include myofunctional therapy, different appliances, palatal expanders, orthodontic treatment, education, habit correction, tongue tie therapy, or more.

Dr. Evans provides in-house tongue tie treatment in children and adults, if necessary.

Quite often, adults have signs or symptoms of improper sleep and are completely unaware of these issues. Similarly, they may not made the connection that their issues can be treated or improved by assessing or treating the airway. These issues affect more than just sleep - they affect systemic health, cardiovascular disease (hypertension, stroke, heart attack), reflux, trouble concentrating, headaches, daytime sleepiness, and much more. Alternatively, many adults have been treated or assessed for Obstructive Sleep Apnea but have given up on using a CPAP.

Our team is trained to screen for potential problems during your dental visits or provide various treatments to help. Some therapies are incredibly simple and inexpensive, such as improving sleep hygiene, sleeping on your side, nasal breathing tips, and some are more complex and involve a team of professionals. We are here to help make this simple and easy for you.
