In the most crucial and formative parts of children’s lives, tongue-ties have a significant effect on their well-being. Many parents and professionals alike want to know what can be done and how best to treat these patients and families. Now, there are answers.

Along with a team of medical specialists, author Dr. Richard Baxter demystifies tongue-ties and spells out how this condition can be treated comprehensively, safely, and comfortably.

Starting with a broad history of tongue-ties, this invaluable guide covers 21st-century assessment techniques and treatment options available for tethered oral tissues. Various accounts of patient challenges and victories are prominently featured as well.

Very Informative

I am a Lactation Consultant, RN and wish more providers would read this book. Thank you for the work you have done.

A must read for ALL parents

This book was amazing and I am grateful it was on Audible. I recommend this to every single client of mine that I suspect oral ties may be an issue. It is relatable to parents and professionals alike and I saw so many of my own struggles while listening.

Saved this SLP mom’s breastfeeding journey

As an SLP I learned that ‘tongue ties are controversial’ and that’s about it. When my son was born and couldn’t immediately latch I knew something was wrong, but was told about a half a dozen times that he didn’t have a tongue tie. I did research and advocated for my little guy and learned so much about what I can be doing for kiddos on my caseload along the way!

Incredibly informative and helpful

This has been such a lifesaver, going into a tongue tie assessment with our newborn. Extremely interesting and informative book.

Great book

Great for advanced providers care takers and mothers and fathers. Well written and well read.

Excellent

It is an excellent book. I chose to listen to it as I do not have a lot of time to read. I listened in the car. it was easier to look at the book for the resources. Despite the narrator having a voice that is soothing enough to put Yunus sleep, he was not monotone and was able to keep my attention. He was clear and precise.

A Must-Read.

The book is thorough and incredibly informative. Mothers, Fathers, Doctors, and anyone seeking to build or regain their own or a loved one's health should learn about the subject of tongue ties and read this book.
