However, when your little one has a lip tie it can be very difficult. Your baby may become increasingly fussy because they are not able to eat properly or latch.

Do you suspect that your baby has a tongue-tie, however; you're not sure? A tongue-tie may be getting in the way of you having the best breastfeeding experience with your newborn. Here are five questions to ask yourself that can help you determine if you should schedule a consultation with Dr. Judy Strutz and her team. 

1. Does your baby struggle to latch? They may latch on for a short amount of time and then let go after just a few minutes. A tongue-tie can impact your baby from being able to be in the right position to nurse. 
2. Is your baby gaining the weight they should be? Babies who have a tongue tie may be struggling to latch and therefore are not getting the amount of milk they need to gain the weight that is so critical at this time. 
3. Does your baby seem to want to eat all the time? If this is occurring, it could mean that when they latch, they are not getting the right amount of milk, so then they feel hungry more often. 
4. Do you have extreme nipple pain? A latch that is not correct can begin to cause problems for you as well. While a little bit of pain is normal, excessive pain is not.

Life After Oral Cancer

Did you have oral cancer that has left you missing part of your jaw? Or have you experienced other dental problems from chemotherapy or radiation that have impacted your smile? You have options. Dr. Judy Strutz and her team have extensive experience in reconstructive options for oral cancer and other dental problems that impact patients after their cancer treatment and surgery. There are a variety of treatment options that can now be helpful in order to treat this type of problem.

If you are in need of bone augmentation due to missing jaw bone it may be an option to use bone from another location in order to rebuild the jaw. The important thing is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Strutz in order to determine what is going to be the best plan moving forward in order to support you and your dental needs. The dental options a few years ago are not the same as they are now and the doors have opened into other options to improve your smile.

Sometimes even dental implants are an option after the jaw surgery has been done, and can replace missing teeth. They are placed in the jaw with screws that help them stay in place. This replaces the need for removable devices. But having said that, don’t say no to a removable appliance, because that might just be the right choice to bring back the facial contours. In any event, there are options and you would do well to explore yours.
