My name is Fiona Kane, I lived in Dublin for 16 years working as a Health Care Assistant completing my FETAC level 5 and 6 and then moving up to become a supervisor/trainer.
I am now back living in my hometown of Clonmel, where I have recently taken up employment working for Dr Justin Roche at the Tongue Tie Clinic.

Why do I use a laser for division?

All Tongue Tie or Lip Tie divisions at the National Tongue Tie Centre are completed using a CO2 laser. My personal preference is to use a CO2 laser for division of both tongue and lip ties. Having performed tongue tie divisions with scissors for 9 years before switching initially to a diode laser and then on to a CO2 laser, the advantages that I have seen are: greater precision of division as it is possible to visualise and divide the tie to the appropriate fascial layer, no bleeding for nearly all patients and less inflammation and pain following the procedure.
