What Is a Frenectomy?

Afrenectomy is asimple procedure that removes or loosens asmall band of tissue (the frenum) that can restrict movement of the lips or tongue. These tissues may cause alip-tie or tongue-tie, leading to:

  • Trouble latching or swallowing for infants
  • Painful or ineffective nursing, sonnetimes causing colic-like symptoms or poor weight gain
  • Speech and pronunciation difficulties in children or teens
  • Trouble eating from aspoon or handling finger foods
  • Higher risk of tooth decay and other oral health issues

By releasing this tissue, your child can achieve ahealthier range of motion in the lips and tongue—making everyday activities like eating, speaking, and smiling easier.
