Abstract:

Ankyloglossia or tongue-tie, brings with it many challenges. Along with the many consequences of tongue-tie for both mom and baby and the family as a whole, there are broader challenges related to a lack of consensus among professionals. Learn more about the difficulties related to establishing a definition of tongue-tie, where the research stands on the question of incidence and the various tools that exist to aid in assessment and their differences and similarities. This presentation also presents clinical cases studies and details about how our ankyloglossia intervention unit integrates all of these unique challenges.
