What is Lingual Frenectomy (Tongue-Tie Release)?

Lingual frenectomy, also known as tongue-tie release, is a dental procedure that involves the removal or modification of the lingual frenulum, a band of tissue that attaches the underside of the tongue to the floor of the mouth. When the lingual frenulum is too tight or thick, it can restrict the movement of the tongue and interfere with normal functions such as speaking, swallowing, and breastfeeding. Lingual frenectomy is performed to release the tension caused by the tongue tie and improve tongue mobility, allowing for proper oral function and development.
