Yesterday, Dr. Pannell had the absolute honor of treating a sweet 5 day old baby for a lip & tongue tie release, followed by a 7,090 day old for a tongue tie release 🤪
The newborn baby & mother were having a difficult time with nursing — with issues including, but not limited to, inability to latch, painful nursing, lip curling under while nursing causing sucking blisters. Dr. Pannell used a laser to release the lip and tongue ties. The baby was then able to nurse immediately following the procedure. We are hopeful for continued improvements for both mom & baby!
Our summer intern, .kasaju, has been a chronic snorer and mouth breather. After a thorough examination, Dr. Pannell noted a strong posterior tongue tie which would not allow his tongue to properly rest on the roof of his mouth. Following the tongue tie release, Ishan was able to completely raise his tongue to the roof of his mouth 🙌🏼 The best part is that Dr. Pannell can hound Ishan every day at work to make sure he’s doing his daily stretches to prevent re-growth😉
