In this episode of The Tongue Tie Experts Podcast, Lisa Paladino speaks with Dr. Justin Roche and Kate Roche, founders of the National Tongue Tie Center in Ireland. They discuss their unique approach to tongue tie treatment, emphasizing interdisciplinary collaboration, individualized care, and the development of a professional tongue tie toolkit.

The conversation explores early intervention’s impact on toddler development, sleep quality, and sensory integration. Justin and Kate share insights on patient-centered care, including the use of conscious sedation to reduce stress and improve outcomes. While treatment approaches may vary among professionals, the underlying principles remain the same—prioritizing function, feeding, and patient well-being. They also stress the importance of consumer awareness and professional education in improving outcomes for children.

Key Takeaways:

✔ Interdisciplinary collaboration enhances tongue tie treatment.

✔ Individualized care is key—no two patients are the same.

✔ Early intervention can unlock a child's potential.

✔ Sleep quality, not just duration, impacts overall health.

✔ Breastfeeding struggles can signal future health concerns.

✔ Healthcare professionals must continuously learn and adapt.

✔ Increased consumer awareness empowers parents and providers.
