Feeding Shouldn't Be Hard
​
Too often Las Vegas parents are told “wait it out” or just "try harder”. At Smart Mouth we want the process to be simple and make sense - you deserve real answers.
Dr. Tara created Smart Mouth in 2018: a space dedicated to doing ties differently. We focus on the full picture: easy feeding, long-term solutions, and emotional support for parents.
​
If you or your baby are struggling, you’re not alone. We’re here. And we care.

What Makes Us Different
We’re not just here to do a quick procedure—we’re here to support your whole baby, and your whole family. I’m a board-certified lactation consultant and an airway-focused dentist, and this practice was built around gold-standard care for ties. That means feeding support, bodywork integration, and all follow-up visits included.
​
Our entire team is specially trained, deeply invested, and committed to doing what’s best for your child—not what’s fastest or easiest. We take pride in getting it right.​​

Hi, I'm Dr. Tara. I practiced regular kids' dentistry for 5 years before creating a more specialized and dedicated care for babies in the Las Vegas community.
I kept seeing babies who couldn’t latch, parents exhausted from feeding struggles, and no one connecting the dots. In 2018, I created Smart Mouth to fill that gap in Las Vegas - focusing on ties, oral function, and the real reasons feeding feels so hard. Whether you suspect a tongue tie or just know something’s not right, we’re here to help.
