Your patients deserve the most comprehensive care.

As a practitioner, you want to offer the best to your patients. Trouble is, sometimes the solution is specialized, and we didn’t learn everything in dental or medical school. As a dentist, it wasn’t in school where I learned about tongue-ties. It was only after my education, as a fully-practicing dentist, that I started noticing symptoms of my own.

After in-depth research and a full tongue-tie release, I discovered the transformative power of this simple procedure in my own life, as well as the lives of my three daughters. Now, it’s become a mission for me to give interested practitioners the information and tools they need to help their patients sleep, eat, and speak better by properly releasing any oral restrictions.

Tongue-Tied Academy: Advanced Live Patient Course

Cost: $2,895

If you have taken Tongue-Tied Academy and feel like you’re not quite ready to start implementing yet, this course is for you.

The live patient course takes place at Dr. Baxter’s office in Birmingham, Alabama and offers attendees a personalized, hands-on, and comprehensive learning experience that gives them the confidence to treat children of all ages with tongue- and lip-ties. 
This is an advanced course, so laser basics and the basics of the tongue- and lip-ties will not be covered. It is recommended to complete Tongue-Tied Academy prior to taking this course for the best learning experience.

The course includes:

  • how to treat new patients from start to finish
  • what’s important to include in the follow-up visit
  • ample time for discussion
  • all the forms and materials our office uses to treat patients

We limit the number of attendees to four and see fewer patients than normal during our day together, so we can allow generous time for discussion and learning. Lunch is also provided.

100% of the course fee is donated to charity.

8 ADA-CERP CE Credits are now available through a partnership with Affordable CE.  

 

Here’s what attendees are saying.

Dr. Adam Shisler

The opportunity to invest in a live course with Dr. Baxter is worth your resources. A natural teacher and a skilled clinician, Dr. Baxter graciously shares his experiences and evidence-based rationale in a friendly and welcoming environment. Before anyone considers treatment on this challenging population a course like this is well worth your time.

Dr. Laura Hancock Jones

Observing intake strategies, initial consultations, live surgeries, post-op management review, and discussions regarding clinical design made the trip an unforgettable experience!! [It] helped me to develop my own protocols and to ensure that I was prepared to offer release of tethered oral tissues to my patients back at home!!

Dr. Craig Lustman

Dr. Baxter’s surgical expertise in diagnosing and the laser treatment of oral tethered tissues is unparalleled. I was able to watch and learn from someone who not only knows the research in and out but is also contributing to it! This day of live training with Dr. Baxter has allowed me to take my own practice and care to the next level! Thank you!

Dr. James Thomas

Dr. Baxter welcomed me into his office and his team’s transparency with their successes and failures solidified the techniques, philosophies, and ideals that I use every day. Richard’s generosity and patience to teach is unparalleled in the business of tongue-tie. He is a leader that knows that by helping others observe what he has learned they will in time help many of their patients.
