About Our Center

Camp Little Tooth Tongue Tie & Airway Center is a specialty center focused on tongue ties, airway development, myofunctional therapy, feeding, oral habits, and healthy oral function.

While pediatrics is at the heart of our practice, our myofunctional therapy program is designed to grow beyond pediatric care. The space is warm, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed—not only to help children feel comfortable, but also to provide an inviting and professional experience that adults will appreciate.

Our interdisciplinary team includes pediatric dentists, a contracted occupational and infant feeding therapist, and an established network of orthodontists, ENTs, lactation consultants, speech-language pathologists, physical therapists, osteopathic providers, sleep-focused professionals, and other specialists.

Restrictive tongue and lip ties are treated with a state-of-the-art DEKA CO₂ laser when clinically appropriate. Our goal is to provide thoughtful, coordinated care that supports each patient before, during, and after treatment.
