Expert conversations to help you make sense of tongue, lip and cheek ties
The Oral Ties Private Podcast Series brings together leading practitioners from across Australia for evidence-informed conversations about tongue ties and lip ties in babies and young children.
Across nine episodes, you’ll hear from midwives, lactation consultants, dentists, myofunctional therapists, and more — each offering their perspective on what really matters when it comes to early oral development.
Most parents who've delved into the world of tongue and lip tie will know that the information online feels confusing and contradictory.
This series was created to bridge that gap. These interviews offer clarity, professional insight, and practical takeaways that help you understand what’s happening beneath the surface.
Across nine easy-to-listen episodes, you’ll learn about the connection between oral ties, feeding, breathing, and dental development.
