What is Frenectomy?
Frenectomy is the removal of a Frenulum, a small fold tissue that prevents the lips and the tongue from moving too far. Frenectomy is mostly done for orthodontic purposes. When this band of tissue connects the lip to the gum in front of the teeth, it's called a labial Frenectomy. On the other hand, when the frenulum connects the tongue to the floor of the mouth, it's called a lingual Frenectomy.
Frenectomy is a very common and simple surgery that can be done both on children and adults.
Performed with a laser, it causes less bleeding, very little post-procedure discomfort and does not require sutures.

Frenectomy is the removal of a small fold of tissue (the frenulum) that connects the lip to the gum in front of the teeth or the tongue to the floor of the mouth (labial frenectomy or lingual frenectomy). In both cases, this frenulum restricts the movement of the lip and the tongue.
It's a simple surgery that can be performed both on children and adults.
