American Academy of Pediatrics advocates exclusive breastfeeding to at least six months of age. Dr. Martinez does perform assessment and treatment of ankyloglossia (tongue-tie), maxillary and mandibular frenula. These conditions can adversely affect infant latch and milk transfer as well as significant pain to the nursing mother. If treatment is indicated, an Erbium laser, specifically Biolase Waterlase or Waterlase MD is employed for frenotomy. Note that assessment and treatment may necessitate up to two hours including post frenotomy therapy instructions.
