In today’s episode, Chelsea sits down with airway and sleep dentist, Dr. Kalli Hale to discuss her journey from general dentistry to specializing in pediatric growth and development, particularly focusing on the importance of oral health starting at infancy. Together the two dive deep on the impact of tongue and lip ties in breastfeeding and child development as well as signs that may indicate a need for early intervention, the process of treatment and the symptoms of those untreated. Chelsea also asks Dr. Hale her personal and professional opinion on pacifiers (which might surprise you) and she also shares about the Tooth Pillow, a solution for promoting proper oral health from ages 3 to 12.
