Now Serving Nashville
Our Second Location
Tongue Tie Treatment at Tiny Ties
For the convenience of Nashville families, we've opened a second dedicated location under the name Tiny Ties. While our main dental practice continues to serve patients in Fairview, this specialized facility focuses exclusively on tongue tie procedures for children in the Nashville area. By establishing this separate center, we're bringing our expert care closer to you, eliminating long drives and making treatment more accessible for parents throughout Nashville and surrounding communities.
What Are Sports Guards?
Sports guards are custom mouthguards that children wear during games, practice, or active play to help protect their teeth, lips, cheeks, and gums from injury. They create a soft cushion inside the mouth, reducing the impact from bumps, falls, or hits.
A sports guard is helpful for children who play football, basketball, soccer, hockey, martial arts, baseball, or other high-movement sports. A custom-fit guard stays in place better than store-bought options and helps kids play with more comfort and confidence.
