Frenectomy Treatment in Downtown Los Angeles, CA
What is a Frenectomy?
A frenectomy is a minor surgical procedure that removes or modifies the frenum—a small fold of tissue connecting the lips, tongue, or cheeks to the gums. When this tissue is too tight or short, it can restrict movement and cause functional problems. Dr. Rodriguez performs frenectomies to release this tension and allow for natural, unrestricted oral movement.

Signs Frenectomies Are Needed
Frenum restrictions can develop at birth or become problematic over time. Here are common indicators that a frenectomy may benefit you or your child:
- Difficulty breastfeeding: Infants with tongue-tie may struggle to latch properly, causing feeding challenges for both baby and mother.
- Speech impediments: A restricted tongue can make it hard to pronounce certain sounds clearly, particularly “l,” “r,” and “th.”
- Gap between front teeth: A thick labial frenum can create persistent spacing that returns even after orthodontic treatment.
- Gum discomfort or recession: A frenum pulling on gum tissue may cause irritation, sensitivity, or gradual gum recession.
