Tongue tied and twisted

The somewhat controversial issue of tongue ties hit the media last week, with a newspaper article highlighting some harrowing patient stories and the boom in popularity of the tongue tie release procedure. In this episode of the Dental as Anything podcast I speak to Dr Mihiri Silva about diagnosis and management of tongue ties. Mihiri is a specialist paediatric dentist who is a Senior Lecturer at the Melbourne Dental School, a Clinician-Scientist Fellow at the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute and Consultant Paediatric Dentist and the Research Lead for the Department of Dentistry at the Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne. She also lead the Australian Dental Association’s position statement on tongue ties and ankyloglossia, and is eminently qualified to talk to about this issue.
