In some babies, this structure can be shorter or tighter than normal, negatively affecting sucking, feeding, or speech development. Babies with a lip tie may struggle during breastfeeding, experience gas pains, and have slowed weight gain. In severe cases, a minor surgical procedure called <strong data-start=\"385\" data-end=\"399\">frenectomy<\/strong> is performed to cut the lip tie, helping the baby feed comfortably. If left untreated, lip ties can lead to dental spacing issues and speech problems in later years.<\/p><div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_74 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey

The procedure typically takes just a few minutes and is painless for most babies.<\/p><p class=\"\" data-start=\"678\" data-end=\"1337\">First, a pediatrician or pediatric dentist evaluates the condition of the lip tie. For newborns and very young babies, anesthesia is often not required. For older infants, local anesthesia may be used.
