What is a Frenectomy?
A frenectomy is simply the removal of a frenum in the mouth. A frenum is a muscular attachment between two tissues. There are two frena (the plural form of frenum) in the mouth that can sometimes obstruct normal function and are candidates for frenectomies. These frena are called the lingual frenum, which connects the tongue to the floor of the mouth, and the maxillary labial frenum, which connects the inside of your upper lip to your gums just above your upper two front teeth.
The Frenectomy procedure is a simple surgical procedure that generally takes less than thirty minutes to complete. The procedure is performed using local anaesthesia, sometimes with intravenous sedation as well.
