Tongue Restrictions and The Airway
Speaker: Dr. Marjan Jones, (Hons), BSc, IBCLC
Speaker: Dan Hanson BDS, MBIBH
Course Description
The tongue truly is the âchief architectâ of the face and jaws, and is also intimately related to the autonomic nervous system. The respiratory function is similarly linked to the nervous system and has indirect systemic effects on biochemistry, particularly cellular oxygenation. This session will highlight the links and offer pathways for further learning.
Participants will be able to:
- Describe the links between the tongue, the airway, the nervous system, respiration and oxygenation
- Explain to parents how the tongue is not just important for infant feedingÂ
- Identify some symptoms of dysfunctional breathing in infants
Agenda
