GOLD Learning Tongue-Tie Online Symposium 2022 - Day 2 Advancing Our Understanding
Welcome to Day 2 Lecture Pack of the GOLD Learning Tongue-Tie Online Symposium 2022 for topics on Advancing Our Understanding! 5 expert speakers present a comprehensive overview of the fundamentals of providing care to infants and young children with oral restrictions and their families. Dive deeper into the topic of tongue-tie with a look at the impact of COVID-19 and the implications for tongue-tie division, the long term implications of tongue-tie, new research on oral restrictions and reflux, compensatory vs novel movements, and clinical case studies of situations where oral restrictions were initially missed, the consequences and results of subsequent treatment.
These presentations will leave you feeling more confident and armed with clinical skills that you can put into practice right away to help the families in your care.
Learn more about the Day 1 Lecture Pack of the Tongue-Tie Online Symposium 2022 - Fundamental Skills. Learn more about how to assess for tongue-tie using the Lingual Frenulum Assessment Protocol for Infants, the importance of anticipatory guidance and supportive aftercare, the impact of tethered oral tissues on the fascial system, retrognathia and hypotonia as differential diagnoses and the mental health implications and effective counselling and screening for mood disorders.

He works collaboratively with lactation consultants, maternal health nurses, paediatricians, paediatric osteopaths and chiropractors in the treatment of infants in this pursuit and is actively involved in teaching the importance of this treatment for our patients from infants to adults.
1: Explain the importance of tongue movement for feeding and facial growth and how to make an assessment of restrictive frena (restrctive tethered oral tissues).
2: Detail the results of new research in relation to improvement in infant reflux and mother's comfort after release of restrictive tethered oral tissues.
3: Describe the ideal team of professionals and their roles to achieve the best treatment outcomes for tongue-tied infants
This presentation will look at new research into lingual frenulum restriction and its surgical release to achieve improvement in problems with reflux, breastfeeding and pain for the breastfeeding mother. I will also expand this into restrictive tethered oral tissues (lip-tie, buccal-tie) as a whole, as this was part of my published study into the laser surgical release of restrictive tethered oral tissues on breastfeeding and Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD). Learn more about the impact of surgical release (frenotomy) of tongue- tie, lip-tie, buccal-tie on both reflux and breastfeeding outcomes for the classically recognised anterior tongue-tie and the less obvious (without functional assessment) posterior tongue-tie. Posterior tongue-tie was noted in 71% of the study cohort.
As a little girl, Melanie had the opportunity to watch her OBGYN dad deliver babies and it was such an incredible process to be a part of, she knew she wanted to help babies when she grew up. She received her bachelor’s degree in Family Science from Brigham Young University and worked in adoption until she had her first of six children, which included twins, all of which she was able to exclusively breastfeed. She struggled with postpartum depression which has helped her to be all the more compassionate towards the mothers she works with. Once all 6 children were in school, she became a certified postpartum doula and focused on guiding families mainly with multiples. Given her personal experience, she felt called to serve breastfeeding mothers, so she went back to school to become an IBCLC. She has a passion for helping breastfeeding dyads and also loves educating others about the importance of treating ties. She feels very blessed to have trained with some of the top in the tongue tie field and hopes to continue to spread the word to help increase breastfeeding success.
1. Explain the importance of considering additional aspects of why infants may be struggling beyond syndromes
2. Describe how low tone causing breastfeeding struggles in Down syndrome infants is not always from the syndrome, but can be from an untreated tongue tie
3. Explain why tongue tie release should be considered before G tube
4. Describe how to help infants that are diagnosed “Failure to Thrive”
Improve your investigation skills as we walk through case studies of infants with tongue ties that were initially missed and the subsequent consequences. We will then review once the ties were found how a frenectomy with complete release improved or completely resolved their symptoms. We will examine studies that involve infants with Down syndrome, G tube, NG tubes, and failure to thrive. Learners will be empowered to assess with more accuracy by relying on their knowledge of symptoms and function in addition to standard anatomical assessments. This will improve outcomes for breastfeeding dyads allowing more tongue-ties to be found earlier on.

1. Learner will describe the top 3 compensatory strategies seen in precrawling babies with tethered oral tissues
2. Learner will describe 3 novel movements to elicit for optimal breastfeeding
3. Learner will list the 3 keys to eliciting novel movements and eliminating compensatory movement strategies for babies after release of tethered oral tissues
Babies with tongue, lip and buccal ties commonly present with altered or compensatory movements of the tongue, lips, face, mandible, neck and whole body. These compensations are secondary to restrictions and subsequent oral dysfunction that results from not having full range of motion and movement of the tongue, a vital organizational organ of the body. While these compensatory strategies have been somewhat functional prior to release, once the ties are released, babies need novel movements to emerge for function to improve and breastfeeding to experience a positive shift. The difficulty is that novel movements often do not spontaneously arise, requiring therapeutic intervention. In this talk, Michelle will discuss 3 keys to eliciting and strengthening novel and more competent oral patterns and feeding abilities after release while making compensatory strategies obsolete.

She opened Faceology, her private myofunctional therapy practice, in 2010 and today it is a thriving telehealth speciality clinic with a focus on adult patient populations and complex treatment cases. Although Sarah has been a myofunctional therapist for over 10 years, it was actually her own health journey that led her down the path to help her patients.
1. Describe how tongue-ties impact sleep and breathing
2. Explain how tongue-ties impact our orofacial structures and craniofacial development
3. Describe how tongue-ties impact our soft tissue function
When it comes to addressing tongue-ties in medicine and dentistry, there is a large emphasis on treating infants in order to achieve optimal breastfeeding. But what happens to the babies who grow into children and adults without addressing their tethered oral tissues, and they end up as adults with tongue-ties? This presentation will discuss the challenges and symptoms that tongue-tied adults face later in life due to restricted lingual frenums. Knowledge of long-term implications is an important part of clinical teaching when explaining tongue-tie to caregivers or colleagues.
Sarah is a Registered General Nurse, Health Visitor, International Board Certified Lactation Consultant and Tongue-tie Practitioner with a busy private practice based in Cambridgeshire, UK.

Topic: Is This a Tongue-Tie: How Do We Decide? - [View Abstract]
Topic: The Elephant In The Room - Bleeding Post Tongue-Tie Division - [View Abstract]
1. Describe the challenges faced by parents of tongue-tied babies during the pandemic.
2. Explain how provision of care changed during the pandemic and what the long term implications of this have been.
3. Describe what the specific concerns were in relation to tongue-tie division which led to changes in provision during the pandemic.
This presentation will examine the impact Covid 19 had on infant feeding and in particular the provision of tongue-tie services in the UK and other parts of the world during the period March to September 2020. It will look at the impact changes in provision had on the infant feeding experiences of families. It will also explore how practitioners managed services during the pandemic and what the lasting effects on those services have been. Specific concerns around transmission of Covid 19 during oral procedures will also be considered. Consideration to lessons learned will be given.
