Feeding Shouldn't Be Hard

​

Too often, Las Vegas parents are told to “wait it out” or “just try harder.” At Smart Mouth, we believe feeding should feel simple - and you deserve real answers.

​

Dr. Tara created Smart Mouth in 2018 as a space to do ties differently. We look at the full picture: easier feeding, long-term solutions, and real support for parents.

​

If you or your baby are struggling, you’re not alone. We’re here. And we care.

How It Works

1

Clarity and Answers

​ 

No rushed visits. I take time to hear your full story, check everything carefully, and explain what’s really going on so you leave with answers that make sense.

A Plan That Fits Your Goals

​ 

We’ll talk through what matters most -feeding, sleep, breathing - and create a plan together. You’ll leave knowing what comes next, whether that includes treatment, therapy, or trusted referrals.

Expert Tongue Tie Treatment

​ 

This is what I do every day. I’ve treated thousands of babies and trained for hundreds of hours. I use the best laser available, and your baby is back in your arms within minutes.

Ongoing Support

​ 

We don’t just release ties - we stay with you through the process. Follow-up visits are included, and you can text Dr. Tara anytime for questions or concerns.

What Parents Say

OBSESSED with everything about Smart Mouth! The facility is clean, modern, & beautiful. The team there is confident + knowledgeable, and made us feel very safe. My son's tongue tie release was extremely successful. I appreciate the care and time to make sure we knew what to do with preventative care. The bodywork + lactation specialist are so sweet and patient.

Why Choose Us

 

We’re not here to rush a quick procedure. We include feeding support, bodywork, and all your follow-ups because the release is only part of the story.

​

I’m a board-certified lactation consultant and airway-focused dentist. I built this practice to offer gold-standard care for ties.

​

Our team is highly trained, deeply invested, and focused on what’s best for your child, not what’s fastest or easiest.

​​

Hi, I’m Dr. Tara. I spent over five years in kids’ dentistry before realizing families needed something more - specialized care for babies, with a focus on function and feeding.

​

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’re worried about a tongue tie or just know something isn’t right, we’re here to help.

“I care deeply about your child’s health, 

and I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all treatment.”
