Frenectomy Specialist in Bakersfield CA

A frenectomy is an oral surgery procedure used to treat a tongue tie. The procedure may be used to increase your tongue’s range of motion and offer a wide range of other benefits.

During a frenectomy procedure, the frenectomy specialist modifies the frenum. The frenum is a band of connective tissue that joins your lips to your gums or your tongue to the floor of your mouth.

A frenectomy specialist is trained to perform a frenectomy procedure that is simple and gentle, especially in children and babies.
