Tongue Tie Unpacked: The controversy, the definition, the impact it can have on speech, swallowing, teeth, & muscles; with Dr Marjan Jones

Tongue tie is a controversial topic. Many health professionals like to dance around the subject, and some choose to ignore it entirely. For some health professionals, such as our therapists at Spot, looking out for tongue tie and the potential impacts, is part of our daily job. We believe that there is more than enough evidence to at least be sharing all that we can with our clients. It is up to you, the patient, the parent, the client... to decide whether you act on treating a tongue tie or not. As someone who has both personally and professionally seen the impacts of tongue tie on various stages of facial development, speech, swallowing, breathing, eating, and life… I think you all deserve to hear this.
