Both Katie Oshita and Liz Turner are working with tongue tie families trying to find support and function.  Both Katie and Liz know the secret isn't in the release alone (Liz does a fabulous release tho, and it is an essential part of the process), it's about timing of release, teamwork and functional habilitation.  So how do all these things go together and how does it work for families that aren't getting support, who are learning about tongue tie from Facebook groups?  Listen to hear more about this process here.

Podcast Guest: Dr. Turner had been a general dentist for many years before discovering the link between oral restrictions, growth and development, and basically everything else in dentistry.  Never in dental school or in practice did anyone talk about the tongue and the profound impact it has on the body.  She is proud of her two babies ages 5 and 3 who have been her “why” in her journey of discovering oral restrictions, sleep, growth, and the impact that these three things have on the quality of life a human being can have.  As a general restorative dentist with an airway focus, Dr. Turner has the opportunity to treat all ages, and in doing so is able to see the impact of untreated oral restrictions from womb to tomb.  She specializes in cosmetic restorative dentistry with an airway focus always, as well as focusing on treatment of tethered oral tissues, interceptive orthodontic expansion, and preventive functional dentistry.
