What is a Frenectomy?
A frenectomy is a minor surgical procedure that involves removing or repositioning a frenulum—a small fold of tissue connecting parts of the mouth, such as the lips, cheeks, or tongue. This procedure is often performed to improve oral function, correct speech issues, or resolve gum recession caused by excessive tension on the gums. It’s a safe, quick, and effective solution that can significantly enhance a patient’s oral health and overall quality of life.
Why Might You Need a Frenectomy?
There are several common reasons a frenectomy may be recommended:
- Lip-Tie or Tongue-Tie: These conditions can restrict movement, leading to difficulties in eating, speaking, or maintaining oral hygiene.
- Orthodontic Concerns: A tight frenulum may cause spacing issues between teeth or interfere with orthodontic treatments.
- Gum Recession Prevention: In cases where a frenulum exerts excessive pull on the gums, a frenectomy can prevent further gum recession or damage.
