What Is Frenum Treatment?

A frenum (or frenulum) is a small fold of tissue that connects the lips, cheeks, or tongue to the gumline. If a frenum is too tight or thick (a tongue or lip tie), it can cause issues with oral function and health. Frenum treatment, or frenectomy, is a surgical procedure that removes or modifies a frenum to address those issues. 

When Is Frenum Treatment Needed?

  • A tight or thick frenum that hinders proper movement.
  • Trouble with speech, eating, or drinking.
  • A large gap between your two front teeth.
  • Receding gums from a tight frenum.
  • Pain or swelling when you brush your teeth.

The Benefits of Frenum Treatment

Treatment for a tight or thick frenum can result in: 


  • Improved ability to speak, eat, and maintain proper oral hygiene.
  • Higher success with orthodontic treatment.
  • Reduced risk of gum recession.
  • Better overall oral health.
