Demystify the Tongue Tie

Demystify the Tongue Tie by Char Boshart, M.A., CCC-SLP is a clear, evidence-informed guide for healthcare providers and families navigating tethered oral tissue (TOTs) assessment, diagnosis, and management. Across 145 pages, the book cuts through the confusion surrounding tongue tie by presenting current evidence on diagnostic criteria, functional impact, treatment options, and the role of the interdisciplinary team in TOTs care, including an analysis of the lingual frenum and a comparison of surgical release versus stretching exercises. It pairs well with the TOTs 5-Step Screening Tool for clinicians building a structured TOTs assessment process, and with TalkTools CEU courses on oral-motor and feeding therapy.
