Frenectomy
Gentle, Expert Care for Growing Smiles
Why a Frenectomy May Be Needed
A frenectomy is a simple, precise procedure to correct a tight frenum, the small fold of tissue under the tongue (tongue-tie) or upper lip (lip-tie). These conditions can limit movement, making it difficult for children to eat, speak, or nurse. If left untreated, they may also affect tooth alignment and oral development. Frenectomy treatment can help with:
Trouble nursing or bottle-feeding in infants
Difficulty chewing or slow eating
Speech challenges caused by restricted movement
Gaps between teeth from lip restriction
