A tight or misplaced frenum, the small band of tissue connecting the lip or tongue to the gum, can cause a range of problems including gum recession, gaps between teeth, difficulty speaking, and restricted tongue movement. A frenectomy is a simple, effective procedure that removes or repositions this tissue to eliminate these issues.
