Frenectomy

A frenulum is a piece of tissue that prevents an organ from moving. There is a frenulum that attaches your upper lip to the gums, while another connects the lower lip to the gums. A frenulum that is too short or thick, will cause problems in speech patterns and tooth misalignment. In infants, a shortened frenulum underneath the tongue will inhibit breastfeeding. When the frenulum disrupts movement, growth, or development, corrective action is necessary to resolve the situation.

 

A frenectomy is a minor surgical procedure that is performed in your dentist’s office. It is performed with a scalpel and takes less than 10 minutes. If your child needs a frenectomy, there is nothing to worry about. The procedure is very successful and causes minimal discomfort.
