3.5 month follow up after tongue and lip tie releases for this sweet baby.🥰

This family made a thoughtful decision to move forward with a tongue and lip tie release for their 4 week old and baby #2 after first building a strong foundation with lactation support and bodywork with their chiropractor.

When feeding challenges persisted despite addressing function, tension, and compensation patterns, we decided together that a release was the next best step.

One of my favorite parts of this work is helping families make informed decision, not rushed decisions.

A tongue tie release doesn’t automatically fix feeding, sleep, tension, or breathing concerns. The best outcomes often happen when we prepare the body first and treat the whole baby, not just the tissue.

Thank you to this family for trusting the process and sharing their experience. 😊

Throwing this up on the grid because a ton of continuing education happens behind the scenes, and my hobby seems to be collecting CE hours. 🤓I’m grateful to have earned Fellowship status through the back in March.😊

Fellowship status is awarded to providers who complete advanced training, mentorship, case review, hands-on experience, and demonstrate ongoing commitment to excellence in laser dentistry.

Excited to keep learning, growing, and bringing best practice knowledge back to my patients in this ever-changing field! 🫶

Thinking about a tongue tie release? Here’s why preparation and timing matter just as much as the procedure itself.

As a provider who has performed hundreds of tongue tie releases on patients ranging from weeks old to 72 years old, I’m going to say something that may surprise you:

Don’t rush to get a release.🤍

A release doesn’t automatically fix feeding, sleep, breathing, speech, tension, or oral function issues.

The best outcomes happen when we address function first, not just the tissue.

And those stories you see on social media where someone gets a release and everything magically improves?

Sometimes that’s luck.🍀 Hope isn’t a strategy. 😅

It’s like not studying for a test and still getting an A.🍀

Can it happen? Yes.
Should that be the plan? No.

Preparation matters.
Rehabilitation matters.
Timing matters.

The goal isn’t just to release tissue.
The goal is to restore function.

In 2004, I started dental school thinking I’d spend my career fixing teeth. 🦷

Somewhere along the way, I realized my passion was bigger than cavities and fillings.

Now I ask different questions:
Why is this child mouth breathing?
Why are they snoring?
Why are they restless, grinding, exhausted, or struggling to focus?

Because the mouth is connected to so much more than teeth. 🫁

Mouth breathing doesn’t just affect sleep and airway health: it can affect your risk of getting cavities cavity too.

When the mouth stays open, it dries out faster. Less saliva = a more acidic environment 🚩

And acidic environments can lead to:
• Enamel breakdown
• Demineralization
• Cavity formation
• Oral microbiome imbalances

Healthy oral rest posture matters:
• Lips together
• Tongue on the palate
• Nasal breathing

As someone with a holistic, crunchy side 🌿, this whole-body connection between breathing, function, the oral microbiome, and overall health deeply resonated with me.

Helping families uncover root causes and support better breathing, sleep, growth, and oral function has completely changed the way I practice.

It’s made me love dentistry even more. 🫶
