A frenectomy is the surgical removal of a frenum. Generally, babies younger than 12 weeks old are treated with a scalpel. A frenuloplasty is performed under general anaesthesia with the assistance of surgical instruments.
After a frenuloplasty, tongue exercises could be recommended to enhance tongue movement and reduce scarring. A frenectomy reduces the risk of gum recession, gaps, and other oral health issues by releasing the ring of connective tissue.
WHY WOULD SOMEONE GET A FRENECTOMY?
There are several reasons why you or your child could require a frenectomy. Your healthcare practitioner could suggest this surgery to treat a frenum that is causing:
- A lip-tie
- A tongue-tie
- Diastema
- Gum recession
