This minor procedure removes or adjusts a restrictive frenum—the small fold of tissue beneath the lip or tongue—that can cause speech issues, orthodontic problems, or gum recession. It often employs laser technology for fast, healing-friendly treatment. A Frenectomy corrects tongue-tie (ankyloglossia) or lip-tie conditions by removing or adjusting the frenum. It can:
- Improve speech development
- Enhance breastfeeding in infants
- Eliminate orthodontic or gum recession risks in older patients
Using laser technology, Dr. Gould can perform the procedure with minimal discomfort and almost immediate results. Visit Gould Dentistry in Mountain Home, Arkansas today!
