There  are 2 Pedis in my system who will NOT refer for TT on the basis that 
the AAP  does not support that treatment. I showed them the 2004 article 
from  Pediatrics and said something about experts in published study. Their 
response  was to the effect that "other experts" say the opposite. But they 
haven't  pointed me to their sources - only say they exist - and refused to 
read the  Pediatrics article I printed out for them.



~~~There was a study in the (pediatric, I think) dental  literature ( not 
Pediatrics) that leads local pediatric dentists to disbelieve  that tongue 
tie should be treated. I don't have the reference handy. Our local  chapter 
New York LCA had a conference in the Fall ( thanks Susan B and others)  which 
was all about challenging our biases. It was interesting to see that  some  
MDs were willing to listen and revise their thinking, as well as  the IBCLCs 
who were attending, while others adamantly did not. They did not even  
really seem willing to have their minds opened by other MDs. The conference  
point was to challenge us to consider other evidence, even if, and even  
especially if it differs from what we feel we know. It becomes like "dueling  
studies" I guess in this case.
