The labial frenulum is a band of mucous tissue located in the front of the mouth that attaches the lip to the alveolar mucosa. This frenulum has the potential to cause gum recession if it is too small, and it may also negatively influence the growth of the teeth. The lingual frenulum is on the floor of the mouth, behind the front teeth, and under the tongue. When this tissue is too short, it can limit the motion of the tongue\u2014causing difficulties when eating, drinking, or speaking. This is commonly referred to as a tongue tie.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The frenectomy procedure involves cutting away the tissue to eliminate negative effects associated with a poorly developed frenulum; typically, we will use a scalpel to cut away the mucosa tissue.
