Abstract:
When we think of assessing for tongue tie, we usually think of an exam that includes touch. Palpating the tissue quickly gives us valuable information. Do we feel tension? What is the tongue doing during the exam? But what if we are not able to be in the same room as the dyad? Or what if our role or training does not support inserting our finger into a baby’s mouth? OR what if the parents do not give permission for that type of exam? Even in these situations it is still possible to gather information needed to make recommendations regarding tongue tie. This presentation will teach you how to how to use the skills you already have to do an evaluation–even if you cannot touch the baby.
