Frenectomy
When Is a Frenectomy Recommended?
A frenectomy is a minor surgical procedure that removes or reshapes the frenum to allow for greater mobility and improved oral function. Because of this, it can significantly improve daily comfort for both children and adults.
It is commonly performed to address tongue-tie (ankyloglossia) or lip-tie. These conditions often interfere with speech, eating, and long-term oral health. According to the American Dental Association, treating frenum issues early can help prevent complications later in life.
Benefits of a Frenectomy
Choosing a professional frenectomy procedure can provide several long-term advantages:
- Improve speech clarity and tongue mobility
- Make eating and chewing more comfortable
- Prevent gum recession and tooth misalignment
- Support orthodontic or other dental treatments
In addition, many patients find that the procedure supports ongoing dental care. For example, it works hand in hand with periodontics services, ensuring that your overall oral health remains strong for years to come.
