Tongue-Tie: Why You Should Be Screening in Your Office
Kacy Jo, DMD
December 2023 Course
Expires: Thursday, December 31st, 2026
Web Only
Abstract
The tongue plays a key role in growth, development, and function. Ankyloglossia (tongue-tie) can lead to compensatory behavior, such as snoring, inability to breathe through the nose, underdevelopment of the midface, crowding of teeth, and TMD. Untreated, it can lead to more serious medical conditions, including digestive issues and sleep apnea. Every dentist should be trained to recognize signs and symptoms of tongue-tie and act as the quarterback in resolving this condition with the patient.
