What Is a Pediatric Frenectomy?
A pediatric frenectomy is a simple dental procedure used to release a tight or restrictive frenulum, commonly referred to as tongue-tie (ankyloglossia) or lip-tie. When left untreated, tongue-tie or lip-tie can interfere with breastfeeding, bottle feeding, speech development, oral hygiene, and even proper jaw and tooth development as a child grows.
At &Smiles Pediatric Dentistry, we take a careful and personalized approach to tongue-tie and lip-tie evaluation and treatment. Our pediatric dentists assess your child’s oral anatomy, feeding patterns, speech concerns, and overall comfort before recommending a frenectomy. We believe in educating parents, answering questions thoroughly, and ensuring each child feels safe and supported throughout the visit.

FAQs About Pediatric Frenectomy
What is the difference between tongue-tie and lip-tie?
Tongue-tie affects the tissue under the tongue and can limit movement needed for feeding and speech. Lip-tie affects the tissue connecting the upper lip to the gums and may interfere with feeding, oral hygiene, or tooth spacing. Our pediatric dentists evaluate both conditions to determine the best treatment plan.
Will additional therapy be needed after a frenectomy?
Some children may benefit from feeding or speech therapy after treatment, depending on their needs. We guide families accordingly.
How long does healing take?
Most children heal quickly, often within a few days. Parents receive guidance to support smooth recovery.
At what age can a frenectomy be done?
Frenectomies can be performed on infants, toddlers, and older children depending on symptoms and functional concerns.
Is a frenectomy painful for children?
The procedure is quick and well tolerated. We use gentle techniques and comfort measures to minimize discomfort.
What signs indicate my child may need a frenectomy?
Common signs include difficulty breastfeeding, bottle feeding challenges, speech delays, limited tongue movement, or gaps between the front teeth due to lip-tie.
