Abstract:

Ankyloglossia assessment and management remain areas of clinical variability and interdisciplinary debate, often resulting in fragmented care and inconsistent outcomes. This interactive, case-based workshop explores comprehensive tongue-tie care across the clinical continuum—from assessment through aftercare—using real-world cases to highlight collaborative, evidence-informed decision-making.
Participants will review scenarios, emphasizing functional assessment, differential diagnosis, timing of intervention, and post-procedural support. Guided discussion will examine the roles of multiple disciplines involved in tongue-tie care and the many variables involved in real-world cases. This interactive presentation will help participants gain practical tools and critical thinking skills to strengthen interdisciplinary communication, care plan formation, and deliver consistent, family-centered tongue-tie care.
