Dr. Baxter's Advanced Live Patient Course

Comprehensive Training for Providers Treating Tongue-Ties and Oral Restrictions

As awareness of tongue-ties, lip-ties, feeding difficulties, and oral-function concerns continues growing, many healthcare providers are realizing they received little formal education on these topics during their original training. Tongue-Tied Academy was created to help bridge that gap through practical, evidence-based education designed for real clinical practice.

Our courses focus on much more than simply learning procedures. Providers gain a deeper understanding of oral anatomy, tongue-tie assessment, infant feeding challenges, laser treatment techniques, postoperative care, and interdisciplinary collaboration. The goal is to help clinicians feel more confident evaluating patients, communicating with families, and making thoughtful treatment decisions.

Who These Courses Are Designed For

The Tongue-Tied Academy Course is designed primarily for:

• Pediatric dentists
• General dentists
• Physicians
• ENTs
• Oral surgeons
• Other providers performing tongue-tie procedures

For therapists and non-surgical providers, the Tongue-Tied Academy LITE Program offers focused education on oral function, feeding support, collaborative care, and patient evaluation without procedural training.

The courses are ideal for providers who want practical, clinically relevant education rather than overly theoretical lectures or generic online content.
