What Is Frenum Treatment?
A frenum (or frenulum) is a small fold of tissue that connects the lips, cheeks, or tongue to the gumline. If a frenum is too tight or thick (a tongue or lip tie), it can cause issues with oral function and health. Frenum treatment, or frenectomy, is a surgical procedure that removes or modifies a frenum to address those issues.
When Is Frenum Treatment Needed?
- A tight or thick frenum that hinders proper movement.
- Trouble with speech, eating, or drinking.
- A large gap between your two front teeth.
- Receding gums from a tight frenum.
- Pain or swelling when you brush your teeth.
The Benefits of Frenum Treatment
Treatment for a tight or thick frenum can result in:
- Improved ability to speak, eat, and maintain proper oral hygiene.
- Higher success with orthodontic treatment.
- Reduced risk of gum recession.
- Better overall oral health.
