​Dr. Bethany Kum
Pasadena, California

Dr. Bethany Kum

As a mother and dentist, Dr. Bethany found her daughter needing a frenectomy (lip/tongue tie release) and encountered heaps of frustration with the gaps of a broken medical/dental system that most doctors and dentists do not understand.
​
Despite the obstacles and finding an amazing collaborative care team, Dr. Bethany found the procedure to positively impact her daughter's feeding journey and development. From there, Dr. Bethany set out to create a frictionless and caring experience personalized to each family.

Dr. Bethany is the only dentist in the San Gabriel Valley area that has solely dedicated her practice to focus on infant tongue ties and supporting the families on their journey.
​
By retiring from general dentistry, she was able to create Tongue Ties With Love. She was selected to be a part of The Breathe Institute’s Baby Breathe Affiliate program and has shadowed many of her colleagues in chiropractics, craniosacral fascial therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and lactation specialist to better understand the holistic needs of a baby during a frenectomy. 

Dr. Bethany takes her first-hand experiences to create the type of loving, caring, personalized and collaborative frenectomy experience she her and her daughter had been given. From one mama to another, Dr. Bethany is always ready to listen and to support your goals on your feeding journey.  She truly believes working with a family is an honor, and she understands each baby and family are unique. She understands being a new parent is life changing, overwhelming, chaotic, humbling, and beautiful all at the same time.  Dr. Bethany knows the difficulty of adjusting to sleep and feeding schedules and going through the process of your baby having a tongue tie can be the most stressful thing. She is happy to help you conquer it so you don’t do it alone.

She prides herself in providing clinical expertise while establishing open and transparent communication where parents have a safe space to cry, laugh, and enjoy good conversations together.
