Dr. Michael Rogers and the team at Fairlington Dental in Arlington, VA, now offer the LightScalpel CO₂ laser tongue-tie treatment and a non-surgical procedure to address snoring caused by soft-palate tissue vibration. To address snoring, gentle laser energy is applied to the soft palate and uvula to help firm tissues and reduce vibration that can contribute to noisy breathing during sleep. This approach requires no cutting or downtime and is often completed in a single session.

In addition to snoring-related care, Fairlington Dental uses LightScalpel CO₂ laser technology for a variety of dental soft-tissue procedures, including tongue-tie release (frenectomy), soft-tissue sculpting, and gum contouring. After proper diagnosis, the release of a tongue-tie with the LightScalpel laser is a quick and gentle procedure that, in most cases, is bloodless. This laser offers many benefits for patients compared with traditional methods, including reduced bleeding, less swelling and discomfort, a lower risk of infection, shorter procedure times, and a smoother recovery.

Fairlington Dental combines modern technology with personalized care to tailor treatment plans to each patient’s needs. Learn more and request a consultation at fairlingtondental.com.

The American-made LightScalpel CO2 laser is FDA-cleared for numerous oral soft-tissue surgical procedures. To learn more about the , please visit: www.lightscalpel.com/patient-laser-surgery

What if the way your child breathes is shaping their sleep, behavior, facial growth, and long-term health and no one ever told you?

In this episode, Dr. Liz sits down with Dr. Amanda Vanderstelt of Aligned Orthodontics to unpack how airway, growth, and structure are deeply connected long before braces are ever considered.

This is not about teeth.
It’s about breathing, sleep, and development.

If you’re a parent, provider, or someone still searching for answers about sleep and breathing, this conversation will change how you see orthodontics and airway health.

We are proud to announce that Dr. Larry Kotlow has added and incorporated the LightScalpel CO2 laser into his Albany, NY, practice for tongue-tie and lip-tie releases (RTOTS).

A board-certified pediatric dentist who has been caring for infants and children since 1974, Dr. Kotlow has published books (including SOS 4 TOTS) as well as dozens of articles and textbook chapters on tongue-ties, tethered oral tissues, and infant feeding, and is internationally recognized for his clinical and educational work in this field.

With LightScalpel’s very short tip-to-tissue distance (around 2 mm, the shortest of any CO2 laser delivery system), Dr. Kotlow gains fine control in tight spaces, supporting safer, more predictable treatment — especially when working with small or uncooperative patients. And because the LightScalpel CO2 laser does not require an aiming beam that can discolor or obscure the surgical site, he can clearly see tissue changes when lasing, helping him deliver a precise functional release for each child he treats.
