Lip tie, tongue tie, abscess drainage, post orthodontic gum swelling, assisting eruption of teeth incase they are covered by thick gums are few of the soft tissue surgeries that are commonly attended at pediatric dental office. Either Erbium or Diode lasers can be used to perform these surgeries as lasers eliminate the need for sutures, antibiotics / multiple pain killers and aid in faster healing.

Clinical procedure itself is simplified with minimal use of local anesthesia, almost no bleeding and minimal post operative care. In terms of behavior coping, laser approach is easily comprehensible and well coped with.
