Frenectomy
A frenectomy is the surgical removal or modification of a frenulum — a small fold of tissue that connects the lip, cheek, or tongue to the gums or floor of the mouth.
Common indications include ankyloglossia (tongue-tie) in infants, a high lip frenulum causing midline diastema, and ill-fitting dentures.
