      Frenectomy for Children

      Frenectomy for Children

      Expert Care for Lip and Tongue Tie Release

      A frenectomy is a minor surgical procedure performed to correct tongue ties and lip ties in children. These conditions occur when the frenum—the small band of tissue connecting the tongue to the floor of the mouth or the upper lip to the gums—is too tight or thick, restricting movement and potentially affecting feeding, speech, and oral development.

      In children, the most common types are:

      Lingual Frenectomy

      Addresses tongue-tie (ankyloglossia), where the band of tissue under the tongue limits movement

      Labial Frenectomy

      Treats lip-tie, where the tissue connecting the upper lip to the gums is too tight
      Frenectomy

      Why Your Child May Need a Frenectomy

      Children with a tight frenum may experience difficulties such as:

      Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent long-term feeding, speech, and orthodontic concerns.
