Procedure Photo Outline: Frenectomies
- Pediatric Frenectomy causes scarring? My daughter is in need of a labial frenectomy. She has quite a large gap between her front two teeth. Although I think it's adorable, she is starting kindergarten this year and I do not want the other kids to give her a hard time. Years ago, our doctor had suggested waiting until she's 5 years old to get this done. We just went to a pediatric dentist and she was of this opinion: Getting the frenectomy done now may cause scarring tissue to form. If my daughter were to ever need braces, this tissue may prevent the braces from straightening these fron two teeth. She suggests getting the operation done at the same time as the braces, if needed. That will leave her with this gap until then. I am confused. ...Visitor from TX (answer)

- The dentist told me that my daughter needs a frenectomy in her upper lip, I am afraid that her smile would be different. I sense that when she smiles all of her gums will show. So does it affect that? I am also worried that if we didn't do it will the gap in her teeth close when she gets her other teeth? ...Visitor from TN (answer)
