The article examines how advanced dental technologies improve diagnosis, treatment, and long-term wellness for patients.

GILLETTE, Wyo., July 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — How does the Solea laser help treat tongue-tie and lip-tie? According to a HelloNation article, Dawn Strohschein, DDS, of Pronghorn Family Dentistry in Gillette, Wyoming, explains that modern dentistry now offers advanced tools to address oral and airway concerns with greater comfort, precision, and long-term benefits. Technologies such as the Solea laser, saliva testing, and targeted dental approaches to sleep apnea are giving patients more effective care options that also support overall wellness.

The Solea laser is one of the most versatile technologies in contemporary dental care. It can be used on both hard and soft tissue and is especially valuable in releasing oral restrictions like tongue-tie and lip-tie. In the past, these procedures required scissors or scalpels, which could result in more bleeding, discomfort, and longer recovery times. The Solea laser allows for a gentler release with minimal bleeding, reduced swelling, and faster healing. Patients often experience less disruption to eating and speaking, making it a preferred option for both children and adults.

Saliva testing is another advancement changing how dental teams approach preventive care. Saliva contains important diagnostic information about bacterial activity, inflammation, and risk factors for decay and gum disease. By analyzing a patient’s saliva, providers can detect harmful bacteria before they cause damage, identify early signs of gum inflammation, and design targeted treatment plans. This approach not only reduces the risk of dental problems but also supports a healthier balance in the mouth.

Saliva testing can also reveal indicators of systemic conditions. Certain markers in saliva may point to inflammation or potential metabolic concerns, allowing healthcare providers to address root causes early. This connection between oral and overall health highlights the value of integrating dental diagnostics into broader wellness strategies.

For patients with sleep-disordered breathing, dental and airway evaluations play an important role in care. Sleep apnea occurs when the airway becomes blocked or collapses during sleep, interrupting breathing and lowering oxygen levels in the body. While CPAP therapy is effective for moderate to severe cases, many people benefit from custom dental appliances that gently reposition the jaw and tongue to keep the airway open. These appliances are discreet, comfortable, and easier for many patients to tolerate than a CPAP machine. Other comprehensive options, including craniofacial expansion, may also be considered.

Identifying the cause of sleep-disordered breathing is essential. Advanced imaging and airway assessments can pinpoint structural issues, such as a narrow palate or enlarged tissues, as well as functional concerns like poor tongue posture or muscle weakness. With this information, dental providers can collaborate with sleep specialists, offering solutions that may include oral appliances, myofunctional therapy, or surgical intervention.

Dr. Strohschein explains that combining tools like the Solea laser, saliva testing, and sleep apnea evaluation allows for more personalized treatment plans. For example, a patient whose tongue-tie is contributing to mouth breathing may begin with myofunctional therapy to strengthen oral muscles. Saliva testing can then be used to monitor changes in oral bacteria as nasal breathing improves, followed by a tongue-tie release with the Solea laser to enhance long-term function. This step-by-step approach not only addresses immediate concerns but also supports lasting improvements in breathing, oral health, and overall wellness.

Modern dental technology also prioritizes patient comfort. The Solea laser often removes the need for anesthesia, making procedures faster and less stressful. Saliva testing is quick, painless, and non-invasive. Custom oral appliances for sleep apnea are small, portable, and free from the noise or bulk of traditional machines. These benefits encourage patients to complete their treatment and maintain long-term healthy habits.

A preventive philosophy is at the core of these advancements. By detecting risks early and treating concerns before they become severe, providers can help patients avoid complex procedures, reduce healthcare costs, and improve quality of life. These innovations demonstrate that oral health and airway health are closely linked and that modern dental tools can address both with precision.

LEAP Group Relaunches HumanView, a Growth Intelligence System Built to Explain Why Customers Behave the Way They Do

Reimagined from the ground up, HumanView pairs statistical modeling with expert analysts to turn millions of real-world customer signals into business decisions

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LEAP Group today announced the relaunch of HumanView, its growth intelligence service. The new version has been rebuilt from the ground up and now has a dedicated home at leapgroupnetwork.com/humanview.

HumanView analyzes what customers say and do across social platforms, e-commerce sites, review platforms, search behavior and user-generated content, including signals from Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, Meta, Amazon and Walmart+ that general AI tools cannot always access. Because the data reflects unprompted, real-world behavior, it avoids the response bias built into surveys and focus groups.

The service works in three layers. HumanView captures signals at scale, decodes millions of records through validated statistical models such as regression, correlation and clustering, and then relies on experienced analysts to interpret the patterns. Clients receive clear, human-validated insights instead of another dashboard.

“Machines find the patterns. Humans find the point,” said Alan Gilleo, CEO at LEAP Group. “The first version of HumanView showed us how much customers reveal when nobody is asking them questions. This version is built to explain why they act the way they do, and to put those answers in front of everyone making decisions, from product to service to marketing.”

HumanView focuses on three areas:

Growth Intelligence: customer motivations and how people perceive a brand and its competitors

Market and Category Intelligence: product pain points, service friction, unmet needs and competitive gaps

Audience Intelligence: new segments, positioning opportunities and gaps in the market

Every model is designed and validated by data scientists and benchmarked before it informs a recommendation.

STEPHEN A. SMITH ADDRESSES WHITE HOUSE DINNER ATTENDANCE, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO HBCUs AND PROTECTING CORPORATE INVESTMENT IN BLACK EDUCATION

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stephen A. Smith, media mogul, New York Times bestselling author, and proud 1991 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, is addressing the public discussion surrounding his decision to attend a White House dinner with President Donald Trump, emphasizing his commitment to the long-term financial stability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

For Smith, the decision was rooted in a commitment to institutions that have educated generations of Black leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

“I will always advocate for HBCUs and the students whose futures depend on them,” Smith said. “My reason for attending the White House dinner was to discuss the challenges these institutions face in securing long-term funding and to make the case that corporate America must continue to invest in them.”

Smith acknowledged federal support through the FUTURE Act while expressing concern that political tensions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could discourage private companies from supporting HBCUs. He maintains that these institutions deserve sustained corporate partnerships, philanthropic contributions, and public investment.

“If we truly believe in free-market capitalism, businesses should be able to support educational institutions and charitable causes without fear of criticism or repercussions,” Smith said. “HBCUs have made extraordinary contributions to this country. They deserve sustained public and private investment.”

Ashley Christopher, Esq., Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation, recognized Smith’s advocacy and decision to engage with the administration.

“Stephen A. Smith has been a powerful advocate for HBCUs, using his platform and influence to shine a national spotlight on our institutions,” expressed Christopher, “His continued support of HBCU Week helps advance our mission of connecting students with life-changing educational opportunities, and we are proud to have him as our ambassador.”

Since Smith became an HBCU Week Ambassador in 2019, the initiative has facilitated more than 15,000 on-the-spot college acceptances and raised and awarded more than $150 million in scholarships, according to the HBCU Week Foundation.

As public discussion continues, Smith is emphasizing the importance of ensuring HBCUs have the resources and partnerships needed to educate future generations and expand opportunities for students.
