Frenectomy
The muscles of the cheeks and
lips are attached to the gums and
tissue of the mouth by a piece
of soft tissue called a frenum.
Sometimes a frenum can be
attached too high on the gums
causing either recession or spaces
between teeth. In addition, there
is another frenum under the
tongue. If this frenum is attached
too close to the end of the tongue
it can adversely affect swallowing
and speech. Sometimes this is
referred to as being "tongue-tied".
Drs. Hakimi/Ahmad can perform a frenectomy procedure where either part or all of the frenum in question is removed in order to return a healthy balance to the mouth.
