Smart Mouth

First of all, I would like to highly recommend Dr. Tara for her excellent service and her wonderful team. Our appointments are always short, efficient, and very punctual. I want to share that I had been searching for this type of treatment for my daughter since she was 4 years old. I already understood how important it is to start this kind of treatment at an early age, because the younger the child, the better the results. I visited more than six dentists here in Las Vegas, and when I explained my daughter’s case, they all told me that I needed to wait until she was at least 8 years old to begin treatment. I knew that wasn’t necessarily true, since starting at a younger age leads to better outcomes. None of the dentists seemed to understand how important it is to begin this treatment ea

Dr. Tara and her team are definitely the leading experts in oral ties, breastfeeding and airway issues here in Las Vegas- and probably the whole country in my opinion as a mom of four kids all born with substantial tongue ties! I have spent countless hours researching latch issues and breastfeeding complications. All my research always leads me back to Smart Mouth. Her office is full of so many resources. When my son was born with a severe tongue tie, she got him in right away and helped us get a better, more efficient latch while breastfeeding. I unfortunately suffered from mastitis and an infected clogged milk duct- they were there to help me, they even helped me massage the clog out and support me in every way I could ask for. My son's procedure was smooth and as low stress as possible.

Smart Mouth is an invaluable resource for breastfeeding families! I have referred numerous lactation clients to them for oral evaluations, and the feedback is always glowing. Their work has directly contributed to the breastfeeding success of many mothers in my care. Professional, thorough, and incredibly supportive—I highly recommend them to any parent looking for expert dental care for their little ones.

I've known Dr. Tara Erson for almost two decades—since dental school—and as a practicing dentist in Southern Utah, I can confidently say she is one of the most genuine, caring, and principled people I’ve ever met. She truly does the right thing for her patients and cares deeply about helping families—especially when it comes to something as important as a baby’s ability to feed, breathe, and thrive. Her practice at Smart Mouth perfectly reflects who she is: focused on gold-standard, thoughtful care for tongue ties and lip ties, with a real emphasis on the full picture—easier feeding, long-term solutions, and genuine ongoing support for parents. I love how she highlights that feeding shouldn’t be hard, and that she’s built a team approach with lactation experts, bodywork, and no-rush visits

Dr Tara & her team are a million out of 10! Our little girl had a bad tongue tie along with lip & cheek ties causing her to suck in a lot of air while feeding and reflux issues. Our pediatrician recommended a normal dentist for the procedure or Dr Tara. After our consultation with her and seeing the after care provided we felt confident in our decision to go with Dr Tara/Smart Mouth. We knew the recovery wasn't going to be easy, a big part is you as a parent doing the after care stretches. Did it suck, yes. But is my child 100 times better now, absolutely!
