a frenectomy is the answer.&nbsp; A frenectomy involves releasing the excess fold of tissue that secures the tongue to the floor or the mouth (lingual frenectomy) or the lips to the gingiva (labial frenectomy).<\/span><br><\/p>\n<p>In many instances, there is very little post-operative pain and swelling following a frenectomy.&nbsp; In fact, most patients describe it as having bit into a hot slice of pizza and burning their mouth.<\/p>\n<p>A frenectomy is a simple and quick procedure that can performed at any age to improve our oral health and overall wellness, including in babies having difficulty latching and breastfeeding.<\/p>\n<p>If needed, patients can take Ibuprofen for any pain and discomfort according to the manufacturer\\&#8217;s recommendations, but even this is often not needed.<\/p>\n<p>To find out if you are a candidate for a frenectomy procedure, Dr. Fritz or Dr. Schuldt would be happy to have you visit our clinic for a consultation and to discuss treatment options with you.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:divi\/placeholder
