A frenum is where the cheeks, tongue, and lip attach to the gum. It usually requires no intervention. Sometimes the frenum can pull or be too heavy. This can alter speech and may lead to gum recessionl. Fortunately, the process to remove the frenum is very simple. It is usually completed with a laser and has little to no pain.
