Otter Oral Care is a tongue- and lip-tie treatment practice serving infants, children, and adults in the Columbia River Gorge and Portland area, with clinics in Hood River and Portland, Oregon. The practice provides gentle, precise releases using CO₂ laser treatment and supports patients and families at every stage of life. Care for infants focuses on feeding, latch, and sleep concerns.

For children, the team considers needs such as speech and jaw development, working alongside other members of each child’s care team. Adults can seek assessment and treatment for ongoing effects of tongue-tie, including tension and sleep issues. Otter Oral Care emphasizes clear guidance, compassionate support, and collaborative care.

Its team brings surgical experience and personal understanding of the challenges families can face with feeding. The practice also serves healthcare providers with clinical information, referrals, and opportunities for coordinated care. Patients and families can access post-operative guides, research, and videos to help them prepare.
