Lactation Consultants
Breastfeeding is not only a vital source of nutrition for infants but also crucial for the development of oral muscles and jaw structure. It helps promote the proper alignment of teeth and reduces the risk of dental issues later in life. Our team works in tandem with lactation consultants to ensure that mothers receive the guidance and assistance they need to establish successful breastfeeding practices.
Our lactation support services encompass:
-
Education and Counseling: We offer education and counseling sessions to breastfeeding mothers, providing valuable information on the benefits of breastfeeding for oral health and overall development.
-
Assistance with Techniques: Our lactation consultants provide hands-on support to help mothers with proper breastfeeding techniques, ensuring optimal nutrition and oral muscle stimulation for their infants.
-
Collaborative Care: We collaborate closely with lactation consultants to address any breastfeeding-related concerns that may impact oral health, such as latch issues or nipple confusion.
By integrating dental expertise with lactation support, we aim to empower mothers in nurturing their infants' oral health from the very beginning.
