WHAT IS FRENUM?
A frenum is a small band of tissue that connects the gums to the lips or tongue.
WHAT IS FRENECTOMY?
A frenectomy is a dental procedure aimed at eliminating or modifying the frenum, which can cause various oral health issues.
TYPES OF FRENUM ATTACHMENT:
1. Labial frenum: connects the gums to the upper or lower
lip.
2. Lingual frenum: Connects the tongue to the floor of
the mouth.
3. Buccal frenum: connects the gum to the cheeks.
IN WHICH CASES FRENECTOMY NEEDED:
- Tongue-Tie: Restricts tongue movement, affecting speech, eating, and swallowing.
- Gum Recession: Abnormal frenum can pull on the gums, leading to recession.
- Orthodontic Issues: Frenum can interfere with tooth alignment and movement.
- Dental Implant Complications: Abnormal frenum can compromise dental implant stability.
- Oral Hygiene: Abnormal frenum can make cleaning difficult, leading to plaque buildup.
BENEFITS OF FRENECTOMY:
Benefits for infants and children:
1. Improved feeding: Release of tongue-tie can
facilitate easier breastfeeding and bottle-feeding.
2. Enhanced speech development: Correcting
tongue-tie can improve pronunciation.
3. Reduced risk of orthodontic issues: Early
treatment can prevent future alignment problems.
4. Increased tongue mobility: Allows for normal
tongue movement, aiding in eating and swallowing.
5. Better oral hygiene: easier cleaning and reduced risk of plaque buildup.
Benefits for adults:
1. Relief from pain: eliminate discomfort caused
by the restrictive frenulum.
2. Improved gum health: reduced gum recession and
promotes healthy gum attachment.

contour and tooth alignment.
