Frenectomy

Frenectomy

A frenectomy is a surgical procedure performed to remove or modify the frenulum, a small fold of tissue in the mouth. There are two primary types: labial frenectomy and lingual frenectomy. A labial frenectomy involves the removal or alteration of the frenulum between the upper lip and the gums. This procedure is commonly done when the frenulum is too thick, short, or tight, causing issues such as a gap between the front teeth (diastema) or difficulty in orthodontic treatment. On the other hand, a lingual frenectomy addresses the frenulum beneath the tongue. When this frenulum is too short or restrictive, it can lead to a condition called ankyloglossia or "tongue-tie." This restriction might affect speech, oral hygiene, or breastfeeding in infants. The frenectomy procedure is typically swift and minimally invasive, often performed under local anesthesia. It involves snipping or releasing the frenulum to alleviate tension or restriction. Post-surgery, patients may experience mild discomfort, which can be managed with pain relievers and proper oral care. Overall, a frenectomy can significantly improve oral function, alleviate speech impediments, and promote better oral health by addressing issues related to the frenulum.
