Dr. Richard Baxter is a previous guest on the podcast. He is a young pediatric dentist leading the charge to educate and bring awareness to the tethered-oral-tissue movement. He is the author of the best-selling book Tongue Tied, founder of the Alabama Tongue-Tie Center, and prominent speaker. He has performed over 10,000 lip and tongue ties in his career.

On today's episode, we talk about when it makes sense to scale your practice and expand to create a stand-alone tongue and lip-tie clinic. Richard reviews the business side of the discussion, what the physical space should like look, and when you have sufficient patient-demand to make it feasible. We also spend a little time talking about local anesthesia with a Light Scalpel, and how to release the infamous posterior tongue-tie.

You can find Dr. Baxter's book "Tongue Tied" on Amazon. He also created and teaches the virtual Tongue-Tied Academy Program, and he's giving Brews and Tiny Teeth listeners a $400 discount with a promo code he announces at the end of the podcast.
