If you have taken Tongue-Tied Academy and feel you’d like more practical training before implementing this service in your clinic, this live course is for you.
The live patient course takes place in Dr. Baxter’s private practice in Birmingham, Alabama and offers participants a personalized, hands-on, and comprehensive learning experience that gives them the confidence to treat children of all ages with tongue- and lip-ties.
Please note: This is an advanced course, so laser basics and the basics of the tongue- and lip-ties will not be covered. If you need a refresher, you can review coordinating modules in Tongue-Tied Academy prior to the live learning experience
We jam-packed as much value
as we could into this one-day live course.
Here’s exactly what you can expect:
Observe a consult & release.
Because our patients are often traveling to our clinic from a distance, we usually start with a consultation and then diagnose, perform the release, and give aftercare instructions, all in the same day. This means participants will observe this process from start to finish for, multiple patients, during their time here. We aim to have at least seven new patients and five follow-up patients of a variety of ages.
Observe a follow-up visit.
Our live course participants will accompany us on our follow-up visits with patients. These appointments are an important part of our work—we listen to families experiences, hear about results of the release procedure, and address any issues or problems they have experienced.
Get hands-on experience.
We limit our live course to four participants per session so they are able to get hands-on experience in diagnosis and tie-release procedures. (We go as hands-on as we can for participants without a license in the state.) This course gives participants the unmatched experience of in-person clinic visits, with ample time for discussion and instruction.
Discuss as you learn.
Clinic days during the live course are scheduled carefully to include a full spectrum of our services. We schedule fewer patients on these days so there is plenty of time for participants to ask questions and become familiar with these procedures (often over world-famous guacamole at the restaurant next door!).
Know just how to help.
An important part of this work is educating the families of patients about the symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment for tongue-, lip-, and cheek-ties. We share exactly what resources we give to families at each step of the process.
Earn continuing education, and change lives while you grow.
Not only will dentists and hygienists earn 8 hours of ADA-approved CE credit, but you’ll also be giving back as you learn. 100% of profits from all Tongue-Tied Academy courses support local and global nonprofits.
