What is a tongue tie? What is tethered oral tissue? Do these things affect growth, development, or airway concerns in my patient population? And why do I CARE about any of this as a pediatric dentist? If you are looking for the 10,000-foot view of how oral ties affect overall pediatric health, airway and sleep, THIS is the course to attend. This one-day symposium will put you in front of the experts in our field today. You will learn and be exposed to: the connection between ties and your patient; how to assess ties and what role each specialist plays in the diagnosis and treatment; how to treat/release a tethered oral tie with different surgical tools and techniques; the research behind the procedure and how to get best outcomes; and how to incorporate this collaborative approach into your busy bread and butter pediatric dental practice

The culmination of the course will feature a transparent panel of all these exceptional speakers to get your final questions answered before starting your journey.
