A frenectomy is a simple, quick procedure that can have a big impact on your child’s oral health and development. At Blanc Dentistry, we perform gentle and precise frenectomies to address issues related to tongue-tie or lip-tie, which can affect everything from breastfeeding and speech to dental alignment and hygiene.
Understanding Frenectomy
A frenectomy involves the removal or modification of a frenum—a small fold of tissue that can restrict movement in the mouth. Our minimally invasive approach ensures that the procedure is safe, fast, and comfortable for your child.
Key Benefits:
-
Improved Feeding and Speech
Tongue- and lip-ties can interfere with breastfeeding, bottle feeding, and speech development. A frenectomy helps restore full oral function.
-
Enhanced Oral Hygiene
Removing restrictive tissue allows for better brushing, flossing, and reduces the risk of decay or gum problems.
-
ProSupport for Orthodontic Treatmentfessional Cleanings
