Ep 133 Tongue Tie Release and Research with Dr Lam-Do
Every field needs research. It's how we test ideas, see if our guesses were correct and prove that something actually works. In the world of oral ties, research is slow going, and desperately needed. Dr Lam-Do is working as part of a collaborative group with other release providers worldwide to study frenectomy after care. This study hopes to give us more information about what is necessary, what doesn't help and how we can support wound healing and function post release. Listen to hear more from Dr Lam-Do and Katie Oshita as they discuss the importance of research, timing of release, functional assessments and more.
