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.
