Frenectomies are much more common now, there are more providers learning and  doing releases.  Rarely though does anyone discuss or offer a guided release, many don't even know what it is or how it's different.  Dr Kundel has been doing guided releases with Dr Geis (Ep 79) for years, they have learned together how to feel and listen to each other to get the most profound result for clients.  Katie and Dr Kundel discuss how guided releases work, anatomy vs function, how to develop good oral function and Serrapeptase.  Listen here for all the details.

Podcast Guest: Dr. Lenny Kundel is a proud 1999 graduate of Tufts University School of Dentistry. He also earned a Masters of Science in Specialized Orthodontics Degree from the International Medical College at the University of Duisburg-Essen.

Following a year of residency at Montefiore Hospital and several associateships, he has established private practices in Stamford, Connecticut and New York City.  In addition to general gentle dentistry, Dr. Kundel is addressing the problems that have to do with:

Breastfeeding difficulties
Growth and development in children
Sleep-disordered breathing in children and adults
Jaw joint related disorders

He has been studying Oral – Systemic connection for over two decades. It has been his passion from day one. His path has taken him from being an orthodontic patient, and, as a result, to a TMJ patient, to a dentist that helps people with jaw pain. The understanding of connection between mouth and body is a foundation for Dr. Kundel’s practice.

It is this understanding that empowers Dr. Kundel to assist moms and infants with breastfeeding as well as help children with growth and development. Building bridges between medical and dental communities brings results for the patients that were not possible before.  To be of service is a meaningful, gratifying, and fulfilling experience that begins anew every single day.
