My daughter hated breastfeeding ever since she was a few months old. The doctor and nurses said she could latch fine and she was just distracted. I knew that she was not getting what she needed, she had a hard time gaining weight. A friend told me about untied dental. She ended up have a very bad lip and tongue tie. They said she could latch, but it was hard for her to keep a latch and that is why she would only breastfeed for a couple minutes and hated it. It was simply to much work. Mind you she is 9 months at this point. Being a first time mom I was very frustrated that the medical staff was uninformed about ties. This would have saved me 9 months of a very unpleasant breastfeeding experience. Not to mention the high anxiety knowing your baby won’t take a bottle and hates breastfeeding. At times the only thing she would do was take a dropper or drink out of a cup.
I want to be honest with how it went after she got her ties released. She hated the stretches and knew they were coming since she was old enough to understand, causing us not to do the stretches as hard as you are supposed to.
This made the ties grow back. Scar tissue isn’t as malleable and stretchy as baby skin so it actually made her ties worse in a way. We had to get the revision done again. After about 2 weeks she nursed amazingly and we did the stretches quickly and more firm. She now loves breastfeeding and now does not want to ween.
It is a night and day difference.
My advice would be to go and get an assessment and DO IT, if your baby needs it. It is worth it, and your baby deserves to nurse easily. Do the stretches correctly the first time so you don’t have to do the re-revision. Best of luck!

Very pleased with the care that Dr. Billiot and her team provided. We had a lip and tongue tie revision on our 5 week old. His feeding has improved significantly. I would highly recommend Untied Dental for lip and tongue tie revisions.

Wonderful experience with Dr. B and Danielle! Made my son’s lip and tongue tie procedure a smooth one. They provided some of the best lactation support as well with helping me to breastfeed when I was struggling. I was almost ready to give up on breastfeeding, but this procedure and their support helped me persevere, and now my son’s latch is great. I would highly recommend this procedure with Dr. B and Danielle. Two of my other friends also got this procedure, and all babies were success stories. Thanks Dr. B and Danielle!

Dr. Billiot and Danielle are fantastic! Once we thought our feeding issues were due to ties they worked us in for the consultation and procedure incredibly fast. When we went in the consultation and procedure were done before we even knew it! The amount of resources and support they provide after the procedure were amazing. Our baby is so much better off with her ties revised, Untied Dental made this process so easy and not at all stressful. It is very apparent that they really care about every patient, I can’t recommend them enough!!

My son had a terrible latch and breastfeeding was painful for both of us. After his tie revision it was almost an immediate change! Untied dental is amazing! So great to work with them and made the experience so much better!
