Join us on May 21st at 5:30 PM PT/8:30 PM ET for our webinar with Robyn Merkel-Walsh MA, CCC-SLP/COM®. Dive into the crucial aspects of “Two Phases of Post-Operative Frenectomy Care: Active Wound Management & Neuromuscular Re-Education” and gain expert insights into enhancing patient outcomes. This session promises to shed light on the collaborative roles and cutting-edge strategies essential for optimal recovery and rehabilitation.

Discover the essential steps of active wound management in the initial weeks post-surgery, and understand the pivotal role therapists and consultants play in assisting caregivers through this process. We’ll also explore the vital phase of neuromuscular re-education, starting ideally before surgery and continuing beyond wound care, tailored to each patient’s unique needs. Learn about targeting key goals such as nasal breathing, oral resting posture, and effective eating, drinking, swallowing, and speaking abilities. This webinar will provide insight into the collaborative efforts of consultants, therapists, and surgeons in optimizing sensory acceptance and maximizing patient progress toward their optimal potential.

Learning Outcomes:

1. Participants will define 1 goal of active wound management.
2. Participants will define 1 goal of neuromuscular re-education.
3. Participants will be able to explain why a frenulum cannot be stretched.

This webinar is intended for dentists and all healthcare professionals. Continuing education (CE) credits will not be awarded.
