Melissa Cole MS, IBCLC Presentation: A Mindful Approach to Infant Tongue-Tie Care

Abstract: Tongue-tie, clinically known as ankyloglossia, is a dynamic topic that is often surrounded by controversy and mixed opinions. Tongue-tie can restrict proper lingual functionality and mobility, causing a range of feeding and health issues for infants. Such challenges can be complex, multi-factorial, and emotional for families navigating them. Having a better understanding of the variables involved in infant oral function and related ankyloglossia care can help providers best care for the patients they serve. This keynote presentation will highlight how clinicians can foster a mindful approach to oral assessment, timing of treatment, and related care strategies when it comes to supporting families navigating the physical, emotional roller coaster ride of ankyloglossia.

The Live Presentation is now over - Access to Melissa Cole's talk will be available publicly until September 30, 2024 through the video player below:
