The Compleat KiDZ Check Up is presented by Compleat Kidz, now open in Southern Village. Offering pediatric physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and ABA therapy services — Compleat KiDZ is devoted to sharing helpful information for raising healthy, happy kids from the area’s most trusted providers.

This month, the spotlight is on Holman Family Dental Care and its specialized infant feeding clinic.


Babies who are suspected by their physician or lactation consultant of having a tongue tie are referred to Holman Dental. Babies that have tongue ties may have difficulty latching, a painful latch, have excessive gas or reflux, strong gag reflex or may take a long time to feed. Tongue ties also impact the ability to eat solid foods, chew, swallow and articulate certain sounds.

The clinic takes a multidisciplinary approach, completing a thorough feeding assessment alongside a lactation consultant and bodyworker to make a treatment plan that may include a tongue tie release. The tongue tie release is performed using a CO2 laser and is done same day.
