our story
As a mother and board-certified pediatric dentist Dr. Sebro was keenly aware of the potential issues with tongue ties and nursing. Sure enough when her son was born she immediately noticed a tongue and lip tie that were affecting breastfeeding.
Thanks to her advanced training, she was able to perform his release at 4 days old. Immediately there was a noticeable improvement in latch comfort for both mom and baby.
Having first hand experience as a nursing mother of a tongue tied baby gives Dr. Sebro an intimate knowledge of exactly how frustrating and painful it can be when your child is not nursing well.
She founded the Connecticut tongue tie center because she is passionate about helping mothers and babies establish a successful – and comfortable – nursing relationship.
We believe in a team approach
Issues related to tethered oral tissues often need professional collaboration to reach a solution. Dr. Sebro knows that surgical intervention cannot happen in a vacuum. We work closely with IBCLCs, SLPs, OMTs as well as other professionals to help address issues of breastfeeding, solid feeding, speech and sleep in our patients.
