About Our Lip & Tongue Tie Dental Office – Hamilton, ON
Capable & Compassionate Care for Your Favorite Smile
Lip and tongue ties are more common than you may think. Each year, thousands of babies are born with them, leading to discomfort and difficulty breast and bottle-feeding, digestion issues, and later in life, an increased risk of problems like sleep apnea and dental decay. As an experienced pediatric dentist, Dr. Rullo has helped babies, teens, and adults alike find relief for their lip and tongue ties, helping them eat, speak, and sleep better. We invite you to learn a little more about our lip and tongue-tie dental office in Hamilton and what we have to offer below. Feel free to give us a call to schedule a consultation!
We Specialize in Behavior Management
Dr. Rullo has several years of experience as a pediatric dentist and always strives to provide the most comfortable care for his small patients. Whether your child experiences general anxiety, has a physical or behavioral disability, or simply has a difficult time taking in the sights, sounds, and smells of the dental office, our team can help them have a more positive experience. We take the time to understand potential triggers and discomforts and try our best to avoid them at all costs. We also offer amenities like noise-cancelling headphones.
State-of-the-Art Diode Laser Technology
There are numerous advantages to receiving lip and tongue tie treatments with a dental laser versus the traditional method of using surgical scissors. The laser itself emits a small beam of light that Dr. Rullo can position to remove the overgrown or lengthy frenum that’s limiting you or your child’s oral movement. Due to the laser’s ability to cauterize the surgical site on-contact, it can help reduce the risk of post-operative infection as well as any bleeding, making the recovery experience more comfortable overall.
Amenities Designed Around Younger Patients
As a pediatric dental office, our practice is designed with children in mind, helping them feel comfortable and right at home as soon as they enter. For many parents and kids alike, this alone can relieve the anxiety of first dental visits and lip and tongue tie treatments. With plenty of toys in the waiting area, a Nintendo Switch, and noise-cancelling headphones, we do our best to help your child feel more like they’re at a friend’s house than a dental office!
