Frenectomy demystified with guest star Dr Jesse Witkoff

The Munch Bunch have a special Colorado guest star, tongue tie extraordinaire Dr Jesse Witkoff from Colorado Tongue Tie. Dr Jesse was a pediatric dentist for decades before he discovered the obsession with tongue and lip ties. He now only sees people for releases, anywhere from infants a few days old to elderly adults. He is a great mentor and is the number one person we recommend for ties in Colorado. His passion is helping identify and treat ties, especially babies with feeding difficulties and failure to thrive. He does everything with no general anesthesia, just local anesthesia or numbing gel, a co2 laser, and stitches if needed. He talks today about functional frenectomy, bougie way of saying a full release. Today we walk through why Myofunctional Therapy is needed before the release and after. He describes the difference it makes in helping him identify the tight restrictions when he is doing the surgery and decreased bleeding. We talk about what you could expect after the procedure, the pros and cons of the different methods and tools, and complications from using diode or cautery.
