Frenectomies
Some infants are born tongue-tied or lip-tied, where the oral connective tissues are tethered, or too tight for adequate movement. Frenectomy is the procedure used to loosen the connective tissues to improve eating and speech development.
Lingual Frenectomy
The tissue connecting your tongue to your mouth is the lingual frenum. If you lift the tip of your tongue to touch the roof of your mouth, you can see and feel that lingual frenum. While the length can vary from person to person, some people are born with uncomfortably short lingual frenums (AKA tongue ties) that inhibit their ability to eat, drink, and speak. It most commonly is diagnosed in infancy by a pediatrician due to problems with breastfeeding. However, the frenum could develop and require intervention during adult years due to the patient's growth.
