Frenectomies
A frenectomy is a simple and gentle procedure used to release a tight or restrictive frenulum—the small band of tissue that connects the tongue to the floor of the mouth (tongue-tie) or the upper lip to the gums (lip-tie). When this tissue is too tight, it can interfere with normal oral function and development.
In children, an untreated tongue-tie or lip-tie may contribute to challenges with breastfeeding, speech development, oral hygiene, spacing between teeth, or discomfort when eating and speaking. A frenectomy can help improve mobility, comfort, and overall oral function when clinically indicated.
We understand that any procedure can feel intimidating for both children and parents, which is why we prioritize a calm, supportive environment and a compassionate, child-centered approach.
