Laser

At Kids Dental Experts, we believe that providing the best care for your child means utilizing the most advanced technology available. We are proud to offer pediatric laser dentistry in Green Bay and De Pere, providing a modern, “no-clip” alternative to traditional surgical methods.

Laser dentistry allows us to perform precise procedures with less discomfort, minimal bleeding, and faster healing times. For many of our young patients, this means a more relaxed experience without the need for traditional scalpels or invasive sutures. Whether we are helping a newborn with a tongue-tie or treating a teenager’s cold sore, our goal is to provide effective results in a gentle, kid-friendly environment.

Infant & Pediatric Frenectomies

A frenectomy is the release of a “tie”, which is a small band of tissue that restricts the movement of the tongue or lip. We provide comprehensive tongue-tie evaluations in Green Bay for patients from infancy and up.

The Laser Advantage: Using a soft-tissue laser, we can release the restriction in seconds. This precision allows for immediate improvement in breastfeeding latch, speech, and oral development.

Better for Baby: Because the laser cauterizes as it goes, there is rarely any bleeding and a significantly lower risk of infection compared to traditional “clipping.”

Operculectomy: Assisting Tooth Eruption

Sometimes, as a child’s permanent molar begins to erupt, it can get “stuck” under a flap of excess gum tissue known as an operculum. This flap often creates a small pocket that traps food particles and bacteria, which is difficult to clean with regular brushing. Over time, this can lead to a painful condition called pericoronitis, characterized by swelling, inflammation, and a persistent ache in the back of the mouth.

Our Green Bay and De Pere pediatric dental team uses specialized laser technology to perform a gentle operculectomy, carefully removing the redundant tissue to expose the tooth. This procedure is remarkably quick and significantly reduces the risk of local infection. By clearing the path for the tooth to emerge, we help your child maintain better oral hygiene and avoid the need for more invasive oral surgery or lengthy recovery times.

Ablation of Ulcers and Cold Sores

Mouth sores can be miserable for children, often making it difficult for them to eat or stay hydrated. Our laser treatment for canker sores and cold sores is a “game changer” for local families.

Immediate Pain Relief: The laser desensitizes the nerve endings, providing instant comfort.

Rapid Healing: Laser ablation helps the body jumpstart the healing process, often shrinking the sore within 24 hours.

Prevention: If your child feels a “tingle” starting, we can often use the laser to prevent the cold sore from fully breaking out.
