A frenum or frenulum is a small piece of tissue that attaches either the upper lip to the gum tissue or the tongue to the floor of the mouth. In some children, this frenum or frenulum is attached too tightly and can pull on the lips or gums causing tongue-tie, problems nursing, speech issues, and other concerns. During a frenectomy, we make a small incision in the frenum or frenulum, allowing for greater movement of the lips. Results are instant.
