Can anyone recommend a pediatric dentist that can perform a laser frenectomy for a severe upper lip tie on a newborn? We are having a very difficult time breast feeding with very sore nipples, shallow latch & slow weight gain. I am under the care of an IBCLC but they failed to find it. A friend did that had experience with 2 of her children. However they were in the US when treated. Hiya, Sorry to hear you are having difficulty. My LO had a mild TT and LT so I have always kept an eye out for treatments. To my knowledge, there is no treatment for LT in Dubai and many ladies have arranged for it to be done in their home countries. Of course keep looking locally, but I am not sure there is that option as of now. Good Luck!

Hi, did you manage to find a dr? I just diagnosed my daughter with an upper lip tie myself.... All the doctors who saw her never picked it. She suffers from terrible gas.... Clicks when she feeds... Its visibly obvious too... Thanks! Hope your little one is well!
