Drs. Kenny, Crowder, and Sebourn of Leap Kids Dental in Fort Smith, AR, have added a LightScalpel CO2 laser to their practice, and they’re putting it to work on tongue- and lip-tie releases for babies through teenagers. The release itself is over in minutes. In infants, a tie may show up as clicking during feeds, trouble staying latched, or painful nursing for the mom. For toddlers and older kids, it can manifest as slow eating, food pocketing, or trouble with certain speech sounds.

Leap Kids Dental aims to make a child’s first dental visit a fun, gentle introduction, and that same easygoing approach carries through to treatment. When a tie is involved, the dentists partner with the rest of your child’s care team. The Fort Smith office also offers sedation dentistry and Spanish-speaking care. Learn more at leapkidsdental.com/services/frenectomies or call (479) 306-6156.

Beyond tie releases, the American-made LightScalpel CO2 laser is FDA-cleared for numerous oral soft-tissue procedures. In pediatric dentistry, it can also be used to reshape gum tissue, uncover teeth that are slow to erupt, remove the gum flap over an erupting molar, and remove small growths such as mucoceles. Because the laser seals small blood vessels and nerve endings as it works, kids typically have less bleeding, swelling, and discomfort than with traditional methods.

For dermatologists and plastic surgeons: the LightScalpel CO₂ laser is FDA-cleared for more than 50 indications in plastic surgery and dermatology, including blepharoplasty, rhinophyma reduction, skin tag and seborrheic keratosis removal, and Mohs surgery. The 10,600 nm beam cuts and coagulates soft tissue at the same time and is delivered through a flexible fiber to a pen-style handpiece.

For dentists and surgeons who perform tongue-tie releases: Soroush Zaghi, MD, and colleagues published a prospective study of 445 patients aged 4 and older treated with a fascia-preserving lingual frenuloplasty. The releases were performed using a LightScalpel 10,600 nm CO₂ laser and were paired with myofunctional therapy before and after surgery. The paper describes the technique layer by layer and compares complications with those reported in the group's 2019 protocol.

🎵 A vocal music educator spent 13 years with unexplained vocal fatigue, a limited low range, and TMJ pain. Her ENT found healthy vocal folds. The cause turned out to be a posterior tongue-tie.

Kaitlyn Fay Koch tells the story in the October 2026 issue of NYSSMA’s publication for music educators. Her dentist, Dr. Kristen Geist, DDS, D.ABDSM, CSSC, performed the release with her LightScalpel CO₂ laser.

The treatment followed the full sequence: myofunctional therapy before the procedure, the laser frenuloplasty, then more therapy afterward. Koch reports that her lower range extended by a minor third and that singing felt easier within half an hour of the procedure.

Her article ends with advice for other voice teachers: if a student might have a tongue-tie, refer them to an airway-focused dentist and a myofunctional therapist. Adult tongue-tie patients are finding their way to dentists from well outside dentistry.

Pediatric dentist Dr. Larry Kotlow has treated infants and children since 1974 and is one of the best-known names in tongue- and lip-tie care. After working with Nd:YAG, erbium, diode and 9,300 nm CO₂ lasers, he now performs his releases with a LightScalpel CO₂ laser.

"LightScalpel has proven to be the best wavelength I've used. Its service is excellent, reliability is unmatched, and maintenance is straightforward." - Lawrence A. Kotlow, DDS

A diode glass tip, an erbium laser, and a CO₂ laser all cut soft tissue, but each interacts with tissue differently. In his Compendium industry update, LightScalpel co-founder Peter Vitruk, PhD, MInstP, compares the various types of soft-tissue dental lasers and explains what these distinctions mean for practitioners choosing a laser.
