BIOLASE, a dental laser company, has announced its plans to host the annual Tequila & Tongue Ties conference in 2023. This event aims to educate medical professionals on tethered oral tissues (TOTs), which include lip-ties and tongue-ties in infants and children. 

TOTs occur when the frenulums, which are connective pieces of tissue between the tongue and floor of the mouth or the lip and gum, limit the movement of the lips, cheek, and tongue. The conference will gather key opinion leaders and dental clinicians from throughout the United States in Scottsdale, AZ, on April 21-22, 2023.

Tongue-tie Treatment and Practice Management 

Clinical speakers such as Dr Ben Curtis, Dr Linda Murzyn-Dantzer, Dr Cherish Leung, Dr Leslie Blackburn, Dr Amanda Hankins, and Dr Trudy-Ann Frazer will be featured in the conference. The theme of this year’s conference will focus on full team implementation of tongue-tie treatment and practice management. The Company will provide a laser lab setup to give dental practitioners hands-on experience using the Waterlase all-tissue laser with simulated tissues.

“We are committed to resolving all dental conditions with our award-winning products, especially those that can lead to other serious medical conditions,” said John Beaver, President and CEO of BIOLASE.

“We received an overwhelmingly positive response following the initial conference last year. This year’s conference allows us to build upon its success to further educate the dental community and discuss best practices to ensure a happy future for tongue-tied children.”
