“No Scalpel. No Drill. Less Pain. Faster Healing.” Those words are music to the ears of any dental patient. But it’s especially melodious to parents of young children and babies who require oral surgery such as tonsil treatment and tongue-tie surgery (frenectomy). It’s for them that Dr. Jiyoung Jung invested in the latest state-of-the-art dental laser technology.
“Laser tonsil therapy represents a significant leap forward from conventional tonsillectomy procedures,” Dr. Jung explained. “This minimally invasive treatment uses precisely calibrated laser energy to address enlarged tonsils, chronic tonsillitis, and related airway obstructions that contribute to sleep disorders and breathing difficulties.” The precision laser reduces inflamed tissue while preserving healthy structures, performed safely in-office with minimal downtime
and discomfort.
When a baby is born with tongue-tie, it can interfere with breast and bottle feeding, speech development, and sleep quality. “The condition affects approximately 4-11% of newborns, though many cases go undiagnosed,” Dr. Jung noted. “Traditional approaches often involve invasive scissors procedures, but our laser technology allows us to offer a gentler, more precise solution.”
Gentle laser tongue-tie treatment often produces remarkable improvements in breastfeeding within hours. The procedure provides precise tissue removal, immediate cauterization, and minimal swelling, discomfort, and recovery time.
Dr. Jung employs laser technology for gum disease treatment, gum-whitening, deep-pocket decontamination, perio-regenerative treatment, bacterial reduction, gum reshaping, lesion removal, tooth sensitivity reduction, implant preparation, canker sore treatment, snoring treatment, and head and neck pain relief.
“If a child is suffering from ADHD, bed-wetting, and difficulty in school, I advocate evaluating their sleep and airway to see if the problem may be sleep related,” Dr. Jung said. “We may find a way to help them without medication.”
Dr. Jung believes wellness begins with a healthy mouth. “There’s a profound connection between oral health and overall wellness,” she said. “I look at the teeth as a part of the brain. Their function goes far beyond chewing and talking.”
Dr. Jung offers comprehensive services including: Advanced Dental Laser Treatments, Cosmetic Dentistry and Orthodontics, General and Restorative Dentistry, Family and Preventative Dentistry, and Sleep and Airway Dentistry.
Dr. Jung conducts comprehensive exams screening for oral cancer, gum disease, cavities, TMD, sleep/breathing disorders, tongue-tie, facial symmetry, head and neck pain, and postural misalignment. When indicated, she collaborates with chiropractors, physical therapists, sleep physicians, myofunctional therapists, and nutritionists.
Dr. Jung graduated from Texas A&M College of Dentistry and completed residency in Advanced Education for General Dentistry, studying advanced gum surgery, dental implants, full-mouth esthetic makeovers, and advanced root-canal treatment. She relocated Central Park Dental from Arlington to Mansfield in 2024.
Dr. Jung has been featured on NBC, ABC, FOX, CW, CBS & TEDx and recognized as an award-winning dentist in D Magazine’s Best Dentists (2021-2025).
