Oral ties come with the work.
Do you know the signs?
Tongue, lip and cheek ties, commonly referred to as tethered oral tissue or TOTs, are something we encounter when working with infants.
If you do not know the signs, it is hard to describe what you see to the parents, or to understand the path a family may be on with release and follow-up.
All Tied Up takes an in-depth look at what oral ties are and how they impact the children in our care, now and in the future. It covers the signs in baby and in parent, methods of release, follow-up exercises and revision, and adult health implications when release is not done.
