Early intervention for tethered oral tissues (TOTs) can play a significant role in improving a child’s overall health and development. In this CE webinar, Dr. Jared Poplin will examine common conditions associated with tongue-ties and lip-ties, including challenges with breastfeeding, speech development, and oral health. The webinar will also highlight how the 9.3-micron CO2 all-tissue laser supports precise, efficient frenectomy procedures with minimal bleeding, reduced post-operative discomfort, and remarkably rapid healing.

During this CE webinar, we will
• Review oral anatomy, diagnostic considerations, treatment planning, and post-operative care for pediatric frenectomies
• Describe clinical techniques for lingual and labial frenectomies to better understand the management of TOTs in children
• Explain the clinical rationale for laser-assisted treatment of tongue-tie and lip-tie in relation to breastfeeding, maxillary spacing, and speech development
• Summarize the scientific principles behind the 9.3-micron CO2 laser’s ability to perform efficient, blood-free soft-tissue procedures   ( disclaimer , AGD PACE Statement )
