Before, during and after photos of a Level 3 tongue-tie revision in one of our adult patients. 👅 Many adults don’t realize that a tongue-tie can contribute to neck tension, speech fatigue, swallowing issues, and even poor sleep quality. Releasing it (even in adulthood) can be a total game-changer for overall wellness!

Airway dentistry is getting mainstream attention.

A recent Vogue wellness article featured insights from Dr. Radhika Kapoor and Dr. Kalli Hale, both LightScalpel customers, on the growing role dentists may play in identifying airway-related concerns, sleep-disordered breathing, oral function, and tongue restrictions.

For clinicians, this is an important reminder: patients are asking more questions about sleep, breathing, fatigue, mouth breathing, tongue ties, and whole-body health.

LightScalpel CO2 laser technology may be part of the treatment conversation for oral procedures such as tongue-tie releases or soft palate tissue remodeling when clinically indicated.

Women with sleep-disordered breathing are often told they are “fine” before anyone asks the right questions about sleep.

In this episode of Talk The Talk, Toni-Ann Antoniato, MS, CCC-SLP, CLC, interviews Kristen Geist, DDS, about why women’s sleep apnea can go undiagnosed, how airway-focused providers can think beyond “classic” symptoms, and where soft palate evaluation fits into a broader treatment conversation.

Dr. Geist also discusses LightScalpel soft palate treatment, a non-ablative approach that may help selected patients when the soft palate contributes to snoring or airway concerns.

This is a valuable clinician-to-clinician conversation for dentists, myofunctional therapists, SLPs, and other airway-focused providers.
