Fraenum Excision

It is the microsurgery in which the upper or lower lip fraenum or the tongue fraenum is cut and removed. Fraenum is called a soft tissue component which begins from the inside of the lips or tongue and ends up in the gums. In certain situations, fraenums may trigger the gums to decline, or a wide gap between the upper jaw 's two front teeth. Fraenums are also removed in young children, except for orthodontic or periodontal reasons, when they have difficulty talking (short tongue fraenum). It is better to release a short tongue fraenum the sooner, before it causes verbal problems in a child. We do this microsurgery at our dental clinic, either with classical surgery or using laser under the influence of local anesthetic.
