Some estimate that 25% of the population may experience the effects of tongue- or lip-ties, and many don’t even know it! As a professional who works in pediatrics, you see families struggling with symptoms, but you may not have sufficient information to offer a meaningful solution. This isn’t something you were taught about in dental or medical school, after all.

Be resourced to help.

No one is better positioned than you to educate families on the positive effects simple tie-release procedures can have on a child’s eating, sleeping, and speech. That’s why we offer comprehensive education and training resources to practitioners in powerfully helpful roles like yours—dentists, physicians, speech therapists, lactation consultants, and more.

We are so passionate about this work that we donate all course fees to organizations that help women, children, and families thrive.

Tongue-Tied Academy Course

Our Tongue-Tied Academy online course is designed for dentists and physicians who are interested in adding tie-releases to their practices. This signature course walks you through symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and real case studies of mouth restrictions. It includes a step-by-step guide to adding this service to your practice or starting a tongue-tie release clinic in your area.

If you are a lactation consultant, speech therapist, or professional who works with young children and you want to be informed but not treat, we offer Tongue-Tied Academy LITE, a truncated version of our signature course that excludes instruction on release procedures.

Update Course

Our knowledge about tie-releases continues to grow and evolve, so we have added a 2024 update for our Tongue-Tied Academy alumni with new research and improved methodology for this life-changing procedure. If you have not taken any of our courses, we offer a discounted price when purchasing the course and update together.

The update is available as a full course for release providers and as a LITE course for therapists.

Barb Stewart, RDH, BSc(DH), MPH

Thanks, Dr. Baxter, for once again providing amazing and affordable content to help us stay updated on the latest research, procedures, and protocols to help our patients thrive! The virtual shadowing is so helpful to watch! Your ability to relate to and communicate with families is something we could all learn from!

I highly recommend to take this course

Rachel Barnhart-Kalinowski, DDS

I highly recommend any provider treating tongue ties to take this course. I already knew a lot about this topic going in, but I still learned a great deal. I couldn’t be more prepared. Thank you, Dr. Baxter! And thank you, Dr. Zaghi, for recommending it!

Why didn't anybody tell me this 25 years ago!

Michael Burghardt, DDS

Why didn’t anybody tell me this 25 years ago! An excellent, thorough, interesting and well put together course on recognition, impact and treatment of tethered oral tissues in infants, children and adults. I feel confident putting this into action at our office.

Please also share our patient-centered resources as you need them.

As a pediatric professional, equipping your patients’ families with information about tongue-ties is essential. We would be pleased to provide your office with resources that have been effective in helping parents recognize and understand the symptoms of tongue-ties, lip-ties, and their treatment options.
