Functional Assessment and Remediation of TOT's

Does your client or child have a sublingual frenulum? Sublingual frenulum is a common form of tethered oral tissues (TOTs). Description Authors Robyn Merkel-Walsh and Lori Overland have developed a clear, evidence-based program - the Merkel-Walsh & Overland TOTs Protocol - that enables the identification and functional verification of connective tissues (TOTs) commonly called "sublingual frenulum" or ankyloglossia. The book describes treatment before and after surgical intervention to avoid long-term consequences such as scar formation or healing.
