What is a frenulum undercut?

The frenulum of the tongue is a thin tissue that connects the tongue to the lower part of the mouth. It is responsible for stabilizing the tongue and its mobility, that is, moving up, down and side to side. The frenulum is an important element; it affects, among other things, the ability to speak, suck and swallow, as well as proper oral hygiene.

When the frenulum is abnormal (too short or hypertrophied), health problems can arise. A short frenulum limits the mobility of the tongue, and in infants causes difficulties in sucking and breastfeeding.

Frenectomy, or frenotomy, is a surgical procedure that involves cutting the connective tissue, making the tongue more flexible. It is performed on adults, children and infants when there is a medical basis for it. The procedure itself is painless, and the wound heals quickly.

Frenectomy in Wrocław - indications for the procedure

Frenectomy is recommended especially in infants when the connective tissue is too short, affecting speech, aggravating malocclusion or causing difficulty swallowing food.

Indications for the procedure are:

Difficulty in sucking and swallowing food;
problems with moving the tongue;
unclearly pronouncing consonants;
adherence of the tongue to the lower part of the mouth, resulting in the development of malocclusion;
Impeded oral hygiene and movement of saliva.

Frenectomy is also performed on adults, but better results can be achieved if the procedure is performed at a young age. This is because infants are at risk of health complications associated with a too-short frenulum and further developmental defects. Prompt intervention prevents speech and bite defects, as well as problems with feeding, sucking and eating.

What does the frenulum undercut look like?

The frenectomy procedure is not complicated and takes several minutes. It is carried out under local anesthesia, so neither you nor your child will feel pain. The only discomfort may occur after the procedure – in the form of swelling or slight bleeding. The procedure does not require hospitalization, and the patient must be fasting.

Frenectomy is performed using a scalpel or a laser method. The second method is becoming increasingly popular, as it reduces the size of the wound, the abundance of bleeding and speeds up recovery after the procedure.

Why opt for a frenulum undercut?

Frenectomy has many health benefits:

It improves the functioning of the tongue and has a positive effect on speech, enabling free utterance of vowels and articulation
It avoids difficulties in sucking and eating food, which is very important for the health of infants who are breastfed.
Influences breathing patterns and reduces the risk of colic in the youngest babies.
Reduces the risk of malocclusion..
The treatment is safe and painless..
