Correcting Tongue and Lip Ties
What Is a Frenectomy?
Dentist Columbus
A frenectomy is a simple surgical procedure that removes or modifies the frenulum, a small piece of tissue that connects the lips, cheeks, or tongue to the gums. A tight or restrictive frenulum can cause various oral health problems, including difficulty with speech, feeding, or dental issues. Frenectomies are commonly performed to correct lip ties, tongue ties, or other abnormal frenulum attachments that interfere with normal oral function.
The procedure is typically quick, minimally invasive, and can be performed under local anesthesia for patient comfort. By releasing the frenulum, we help improve the movement of the lips or tongue, which can alleviate discomfort, improve speech, and enhance overall oral function. This procedure can be particularly beneficial for young children, but adults may also benefit from a frenectomy if they experience related issues.
