Tongue Tie
Frenectomy
What To Expect
Tongue and lip tie can impact breast and bottle feeding. The mouth is a critical component for the breast and bottle feeding for the new mother and newborn baby. If the baby’s mouth and oral structures do not function properly, then will be less efficiency for the ability to properly coordinate oral function to assist in proper latch for breast and bottle feeding. During the past several years, there has been considerable attention paid to the relationship between oral and general health, i.e. heart disease, diabetes and premature births as some of the major topics.
Frenectomies
What Is A Frenulum?
A frenulum is a small fold of tissue that prevents an organ in the body from moving too far. It can refer to frenula in several places on the human body. There are several frenula in the mouth that connect the tissues of the cheeks, lips and tongue. A restricted frenulum refers to an abnormal tissue attachment of the lips, cheek or tongue, restricting growth and movement in the areas it is attached to.
What Is A Frenectomy?
A Frenectomy or a Frenulectomy is the reduction of abnormal or restricted frenulum.
