On today’s episode, Dr. Mark Costes is joined by Dr. Michael Dienberg and Bethany Dienberg for a Dental Success Network webinar on integrating frenectomies into the general dental practice. Dr. Dienberg shares how tongue and lip ties often go undiagnosed in dentistry, despite their connection to breastfeeding challenges, speech concerns, orthodontic relapse, airway issues, tension, migraines, sleep concerns, and oral dysfunction across patients of all ages.
Together, Michael and Bethany explain the difference between frenectomies, frenotomies, and frenuloplasties, how CO2 laser releases compare with traditional techniques, and why coordinated care with lactation consultants, speech-language pathologists, myofunctional therapists, pediatric providers, and bodywork professionals can help create better outcomes. They also discuss practical implementation, including consult flow, post-op care, medical and dental billing considerations, referral networks, patient education, and how general dentists can begin identifying tongue and lip ties already present in their existing patient base.

Dentists are stressed and sometimes need help focusing on the right stuff to succeed in business and life. The goal of this daily short podcast is to share information, tips, and stories – gleaned from the Dental Success Network community – that will help you become a better dentist, business owner and human.
After an expensive trip to a used bookstore, Dr. Killeen shares why he happily spent more than expected and why he believes books are one of the highest-return investments you'll ever make. A single idea, lesson, or perspective can transform the way you lead your practice, care for patients, or live your life. Today, Dr. Killeen encourages dentists to think differently about investing in themselves. While it's easy to spend money on equipment and technology, the greatest long-term returns often come from growing your own knowledge. Books, courses, and mentors don't cost money as much as they create opportunities that can pay dividends for years to come.
