The Peel Technique: A New Paradigm in Pediatric Tongue Tie Treatment (Hands-On)

This Course now includes a certified lactation consultant which is relevant to oral healthcare and plays a critical role during tongue tie release. Tongue tie release is a 2-tiered process that includes lactation consultant and surgeon.

COURSE DESCRIPTION

In this combination lecture and hands-on Course, attendees will be introduced to the concept of laser frenectomies, an increasingly popular method by which dentists and physicians can treat tongue and lip ties in their patients.

This participantion course will teach the medical and dental tem how to accumulate all of the required data via history intake forms, evaluate when this procedure should be done, and then perform the procecure using laser technology. The course will also go over the practice management/marketing side of this procedre: how to network with lactation consultants, pediatricians, neonatalogists, and the rest of the medical team in order to grow your practice on neonatal dentistry.
