| | Frenectomy |
 | | In adults receiving a frenectomy in the lower jaw to correct the fit of dentures, there is a risk of bruising the nerve that provides sensation to the lower lip and chin. | | | Before recommending a frenectomy in a child, a dentist will consider several factors, including the probability that the condition eventually will resolve itself without surgery. | | | If a child has tongue-tie, he or she will receive speech therapy first to see if that can correct the problem. |

| | tongue tie / tongue-tie / ankyloglossia / short lingual fraenum - Caroline Bowen PhD |
| | The decision for an adolescent or adult to proceed with frenectomy is arrived at through consultation between the client, the SLP and, of course, the surgeon. | | | SLPs as well as members of the community and medical practitioners vary in their views on the advisability of, and the necessity for, tongue-tie surgery for adults and children. | | | When asked by parents or dental or medical colleagues to assess the need for tongue tie surgery (frenectomy), a speech-language pathologist takes into account the above factors. |

| | Frenectomy |
| | IN GENERAL, frenectomy is only done for severe cases, because many times the anticipated improvements in speech, etc. do not appear (without speech therapy), and/or the scarring can limit the tongue (I'm assuming he's talking about his tongue here) nearly as much as the frenum did. | | | Depending on the patient's individual circumstances, he may or may not get further improvement with a reoperation, even with laser. | | | I suggest the patient seek an oral surgeon's evaluation. |

| | A frenectomy is the surgical removal of a frenum in the mouth. | | | When a frenum is positioned in such a way as to interfere with the normal alignment of teeth or results in pulling away of the gum from the tooth surface causing recession, these are often removed using a surgical process known as a frenectomy. | | | For healing to be maximized it is imperative that you participate in your home care everyday. |

| | By performing a frenectomy, a portion of the frenum would be removed, thereby relieving the tension, often allowing the teeth to reposition themselves so they touch normally. | | | If the frenum is attached in the wrong place, too much tension is put on the gum tissue, which can then create a space between the teeth. |
