Frenectomy in Moreno Valley, CA
Understanding Frenectomies
A frenectomy is a minor surgical procedure that removes or modifies the frenulum, a small band of tissue connecting the lips, tongue, or cheeks to the mouth. Common types of frenectomies include:
- Lingual Frenectomy: This procedure releases or removes the frenulum that attaches the tongue to the floor of the mouth.
- Labial Frenectomy: This procedure releases or removes the frenulum that attaches the upper lip to the gums. A restrictive labial frenulum can cause gaps between the front teeth, difficulty breastfeeding, and gum recession.
