What the heck is “white tongue”?

Tongue tied babies are often misdiagnosed with thrush, leading to unnecessary treatments.

In this episode of the Tongue Tie Experts Podcast, host Lisa Paladino, CNM, IBCLC, discusses the differences between thrush and tongue tie, focusing on the common symptom of a white tongue in infants. Tongue tied babies are often misdiagnosed with thrush, leading to unnecessary treatments.

Key Points:

• White Tongue Overview: A white tongue can indicate thrush or tongue tie. Proper diagnosis is crucial to avoid unnecessary treatments.
• Thrush Basics: Caused by a yeast infection (Candida), thrush presents as white patches in the mouth that don’t scrape off easily. It can cause feeding difficulties, diaper rash, and nipple pain in breastfeeding mothers.
• Tongue Tie Basics: Tongue tie restricts tongue movement, leading to milk residue on the tongue, which may appear white but can usually be wiped off.
• Differentiation: Thrush involves persistent white plaques, often with maternal symptoms. Tongue tie-related white tongue is typically milk residue that can be wiped away.
• Advice for Professionals: Honest communication with parents is key. Ensure proper referrals and follow-ups.

Join the Discussion: Lisa invites listeners to join the Tongue Tie Experts Insiders Group for further discussions and resources.https://www.tonguetieexperts.net/Insiders
