    • Dr. Seb assesses tongue mobility and function

    • Confirms whether a release is appropriate during this visit

    • Perform tongue tie release (and additional areas if required)

    • Duration: 60 minutes (additional 15 minutes per extra area)

    • Dr. Seb assisted by a Dental Nurse to ensure comfort and safety

    • Goal: minimise disruption and support smooth recovery

  • Pain Management

    • Medication: Use over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or paracetamol as recommended by your healthcare provider.

    • Cold Therapy: Apply a cold compress on the outside of the jaw or offer cold liquids to soothe discomfort. 

    Stretching Exercises

    • Purpose: Prevent reattachment by keeping the surgical site mobile.

    • Frequency: Perform the stretches 4-6 times a day or as recommended.

    • Techniques: Gently lift the tongue to visualise the surgical site. You can also do the suction and hold for 3 minutes and gently stretch open and close until you feel resistance.

    • Roll the tongue side to side and up and down.

    • Apply light pressure to the wound area to ensure the tissue separates.

    Food 

    • First few days following your surgery, chewing and swallowing may be more challenging due to the inflammation and stitches. 

    • I would recommend soft colder foods for at least the first 2-3 days, or things that don’t need much chewing. Please avoid spicy or hot foods as these may irritate the wound. 

    • After 7 days, and as your tongue continues to heal over the following weeks, try to practise mindful chewing and swallowing as this will be a huge factor in integrating correct myofunctional habits in your day-to-day life. 

    Speaking 

    The pronunciation of certain sounds requires the tongue to form different shapes in the mouth, this may feel strange at first and could pull on the wound/stitches slightly. This is normal, please don’t worry, it will settle after a few days.

    Supplements

    • We recommend working with your healthcare practitioner to identify any specific supplements or remedies that may be helpful for you. Serapeptase is the one we recommend to take for 1 month post operative.



    Toothbrushing and oral care 

    • You can brush your teeth and use your interdental aids as normal, however please be careful of your wound and stitches. Minty or strong flavoured toothpaste may irritate your wound. 

    • If age-appropriate, rinse the mouth with a saline solution to prevent infection. Apply the ointment that we provide at the clinic at least 3 times a day it can be more if it helps. 

    • Keep the area clean. 

    Follow-Up Care

    • Schedule a follow-up appointment with Dr Seb for 3 months’ time to ensure proper healing and to address any concerns.

Testimonials

  • “I connected with Seb online quite some time ago, when I realised he was a biological dentist in the UK that actually took a real biological approach! Which I had trouble finding. I wanted to find someone who really understood my concerns about the root canal treatment I received from my NHS dentist many years ago. As soon as I started chatting to Seb, I knew he was going to be the one to treat my tooth! Seb was so lovely and spent so much time chatting to me. Professional knowledgeable, yet so down to earth! Even the thought of going to the dentists causes me anxiety. Probably from past experiences! But even just speaking to Seb made me feel so comfortable. I am a Health Coach so health is so important to me. I can't believe I'm saying this but I am actually looking forward to visiting Seb for treatment! I have so much confidence in him and his work, and I know that he will help me take my health to the next level. Thank you Seb for all the free information and advice you provide daily to your online supporters. I look forward to working with you as a client, and creating even more health and vitality, and not have to worry about the negative effects of that root canal treatment I received. Thank you so much Seb for everything you do.”

  • “Would highly recommend Seb. Very friendly, professional and knowledgeable about intelligent/modern dentistry. Our first visit was the first time in over 10 years my partner has been to the dentist, which is a testimony to Seb's welcoming nature alone. Even though we live nearly 2 hours away, my partner and I travel here every few months for our checkups as we know we're in such good hands. I recently had my mercury fillings finally removed with all the safe protocols necessary! Thank you, Seb.”

  • “Biological dentistry continues to make complete sense. To practise medicine knowing that all the body is connected, yet treat the teeth as separate entities (as is the normal practise) just doesn’t equate. I thought I would have to travel overseas to find the level of expertise I had stumbled upon. Then I found Dr Seb. In the UK. His knowledge and understanding of how the health of teeth (and oral health in general) connect biologically and energetically to every organ and working system of the body is both outstanding, fascinating and, in my opinion, should be an essential part of all dentistry. To have learned dental practises received in childhood (namely removal of 4 teeth followed by a removable brace to straighten the remaining) are now known to have slowed jaw development leading to sleep apnea, snoring and mouth breathing in adulthood was a lightbulb. Knowing infection around root canal work can lead to other health complications (not always) I was fascinated by the detailed work and practise Dr Seb uses in extraction. Ask him about them. I guarantee you’ll be amazed too. Beyond nervous, the procedure was painless, empathetically executed and not only healed perfectly on the surface but regrew new bone beautifully. Others will follow this dentistry. I’d say treat yourself to a healthier future now. We all visit a dentist, it might as well be the pioneering best. We’re very lucky to have him in West Yorkshire.”

  • “Me and my partner had a really interesting consultation with Dr Seb. We learned so much as he explained everything as he went through the examination, including so much that had never been touched upon by previous dentists. Looking forward to starting treatment and can't wait to see the outcome!”
