The information and opinions on this blog come from parents, and the blog is not associated with Primary Children´s Medical Center or any other institution.

Welcome!

This site is specifically for parents of kids with clefts being treated at Primary Children's Medical Center in Salt Lake City, Utah, but I hope that there will be information that is helpful to all parents of kids with clefts. If you are just starting to learn about clefts, I would suggest starting with the "General Information" topic and going from there. To find information on a specific doctor or topic, click on one of the links on the right. You can also search the blog using the box below the topic list. If you have information or experiences to share, please leave comments or contact me to do a guest post at kidswithcleftsblog@gmail.com. Thanks for visiting!

Tongue-Lip Adhesion

For children with Pierre Robin Sequence, a tongue-lip adhesion may be performed aid with breathing. There is a detailed article here that has lots of information.

Here is a picture of a sweet little one just after her tongue-lip adhesion, so you can get an idea of what it looks like.



Thanks to Amy for the reference and picture! And, as always, more to come...
