Dr. Sankriti Ananthamurthy, is rooted in building trust, easing fears, and creating positive memories for children and their families. She completed her Bachelor’s degree in Dentistry in India, and right on cue, her niece arrived with a toothless grin that made pediatric dentistry impossible to resist. That grin set her on the path to a Master’s degree in Pediatric Dentistry and later to advanced training at the University of British Columbia and BC Children’s Hospital, where she became Chief Resident.

Their FAQ
Answers from their website.
What tools do we use?
There are different tools that are available for frenectomy, including scissors and many different kinds of lasers. All tools can perform successful releases. At Kiddo Smile Pediatric Dentistry, we perform our frenectomy with Solea laser (can this be linked to the Solea page? Or have a “Read More” at the end of this section that links to the Solea Laser page). It is a CO2 laser and approved by the FDA to use on soft and hard tissue. We select this laser for its efficiency in the procedure and therefore limiting the bleeding and promoting healing.
What to expect during frenectomy?
Parents are welcome to observe the procedure as a silent observer at Kiddo Smile Pediatric Dentistry. Everyone will be provided with laser protective eyewear. Infant will be placed in a swaddle toprevent hand movements during the procedure. Our assistant will make sure the eyewear on your child is secure as well as gently holding your child during the release. A tongue director may be used to isolate and visualise the area. After the release, we encourage caregivers to practise the stretches and exercises again with our team. And feeding immediately after is encouraged.
What if I don’t want to do the Frenectomy?
That is perfectly okay! Coming in for a consultation does not mean that a Frenectomy will occur. This is a big decision to make and we encourage each family to consider their choice. There are important exercises that must be maintained following a release in order to support optimal healing, and we may suggest spending a few days practising these prior to your decision. We encourage working with body workers to continue improving your child’s oral function while a decision is being made. Body workers can include lactation consultant, infant feeding physiotherapist, pediatric chiropractor, oral myofunctional therapist, craniosacral therapist, speech-language pathologist, registered massage therapist (RMT), and so on. We will always respect your family’s decision.
