For example, the band of tissue connecting your tongue to the floor of your mouth and the band of tissue connecting your upper and lower lip to your gums.

If you’re in our office to receive a frenectomy, rest assured that Dr. Jenkins is very experienced and compassionate. You will receive anesthesia to take care of any pain and anxiety. Dr. Jenkins will then use a scalpel to remove the frenum. It’s quite a simple procedure, usually only taking about 20-30 minutes to perform.
