Comprehensive Pediatric Care
Support for Every Stage of Development
From the earliest stages of life through childhood, we provide tailored treatments for infants, toddlers, and older children. Whether it's overcoming feeding difficulties in newborns, addressing speech and swallowing issues in toddlers, or managing oral health in older children, our expertise covers a broad spectrum of needs. Our goal is to support healthy development at every stage. Infants may experience difficulties with breastfeeding, causing stress for both mother and child, while older children might struggle with speech clarity and eating solid foods. Our team is trained to identify these specific needs and develop individualized treatment plans that promote optimal oral health and overall well-being. By focusing on each stage of your child's growth, we ensure that they receive the care necessary to thrive, providing peace of mind for parents and a brighter future for your child.
Effective Solutions for Oral Restrictions
Understanding Frenectomies
Frenectomies are minor surgical procedures designed to release the restrictive tissue causing tongue or lip ties. These conditions can significantly impact a child's ability to feed, speak, and maintain oral hygiene. At Midwest Tongue Tie Professionals, we use advanced laser technology to perform these procedures with precision and minimal discomfort, ensuring a smooth recovery.
Tongue ties, or ankyloglossia, occur when the tissue under the tongue is too short or tight, restricting movement. Lip ties similarly restrict the upper lip's movement. These issues can lead to difficulties in breastfeeding, speech, and dental health. Our laser technology provides a safer, more comfortable alternative to traditional methods, with less bleeding and faster healing. We offer detailed follow-up care and support to ensure optimal recovery, working closely with parents to identify and treat these conditions early.

Dr. Jill Jenkins
Founder, Pediatric Dentist
With almost 20 years of experience as a pediatric dentist, Dr. Jill Jenkins felt like there wasn’t a child she couldn’t help through her pediatric dental practice, Jenkins Dentistry for Kids. That was until two of her long-term employees had infants with tongue tie restrictions, requiring frenectomy procedures. Without the proper training and equipment, Dr. Jenkins had to refer her patients to a practitioner outside of the practice at a vulnerable time for the families who had come to trust her. So, after extensive coursework and in-person training with some of the most renowned tongue-tie pediatric experts in the field, Dr. Jenkins is thrilled to now be able to provide frenectomy services to patients through the establishment of Midwest Tongue Tie Professionals.
Utilizing the state-of-the-art Lightscalpel CO2 laser, frenectomy procedures can now be completed efficiently and with shortened recovery time. By also incorporating myofunctional therapy into the practice with advanced trained hygienists who have worked with Dr. Jenkins for many years, she is confident that patients will receive exceptional care before, during, and post-procedure to ensure not only a precise tongue tie release but also the functionality the release is designed to achieve.
Jennifer Trager
Pediatric Dental Hygienist, Oral Myofunctional Therapist
Jennifer fell in love with pediatric dentistry the minute she started it! She loves creating an environment where kids get excited for their dental visits. Nothing warms her heart more than when parents let us know their children literally cheered when they told them they had a dentist appointment that day. Jennifer has been practicing myofunctional therapy since 2023 and is excited to help patients at Midwest Tongue Tie Professionals experience the lifelong benefits that this service has to offer.
Dr. Dharti Gandhi
Dr. Gandhi loves to laugh and finds tremendous joy in treating children. With her passion for oral health and kids, she has found that treating the whole patient rather than just focusing on teeth is the most impactful approach. Struggling with lactation with both of her children, Dr. Gandhi gained personal experience of the importance of correcting lip and tongue ties. Dr. Gandhi is passionate about helping her patients achieve results to improve latching, speech, and sleep.
