Feeding frustrations? Colic? Poor sleep?
Sometimes the root cause is a tongue-tie or lip-tie, a small restriction that can make a big difference in how a baby/child eats, speaks, and breathes.

At Graceful Dental Innovations, Dr. Gentner provides gentle, precise LightScalpel CO₂ laser releases for infants, children, and adults, always in collaboration with trusted lactation consultants and therapists.

❤️ A few minutes can transform comfort and function, for baby and for you.

Laser soft-palate care has progressed from UPPP and LAUP to today’s non-ablative laser approaches that contract collagen without removing tissue. This article reviews that history and shows how these protocols fit into a modern dental workflow.

It also compares platforms for clinicians: LightScalpel’s non-ablative 10.6 μm CO2 method uses under 2 minutes of laser-on time after evaluation, while many Er:YAG protocols typically require three visits over several weeks with longer chair time and higher capital cost. Results and candidacy vary. Read the article: lightscalpel.com/blog/from-laup-to-lightscalpel-the-evolution-of-laser-soft-palate-remodeling
