WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Testimonials
What is a
Frenectomy?
There are two frena (the plural form of frenum) in the mouth that can sometimes obstruct normal function and are candidates for frenectomies. These frena are called:
Lingual Frenum: which connects the tongue to the floor of the mouth
Maxillary Labial Frenum: which connects the inside of your upper lip to your gums just above your upper two front teeth.
Sometimes, the lingual frenum can run all the way to the tip of the tongue, causing a person to be “tongue-tied.” If the attachment extends all the way to the tip of the tongue, then a frenectomy may be the only choice to give the child normal tongue function.
