Oral ties (tongue-ties and lip-ties) are one of the most debated topics in both the parenting and professional dental world.
Are they over-diagnosed? A trend? Or a critical piece of airway and functional health that we’ve been overlooking for far too long?
In this episode, Dr. Piya Gandhi shares her perspective as both a pediatric dentist and a mom. She breaks down the myths, explains why oral ties are not “new,” and outlines how they can affect feeding, speech, breathing, jaw growth, and overall development at every age.
You’ll learn:
- Why oral ties matter for infants, toddlers, children, and even adults
- How tongue-tie and lip-tie symptoms often go unnoticed (and why screening is inconsistent)
- The importance of function-first treatment: therapy ➝ procedure ➝ therapy
- Why “just clipping” isn’t enough for long-term results
- What parents should look for in a provider and evaluation process
- Resources for finding trusted airway-focused practitioners
Whether you’re a parent struggling with feeding challenges, a provider curious about functional dentistry, or someone who’s just now learning about airway health — this episode will leave you with the knowledge and confidence to advocate for the right care.
