what is the tendon connected to your lip called?
After a minor surgical procedure (frenectomy) relocates the frenum away from the teeth preventing the space from reopening. You have what is called a large frenum (pronounced âfree â numâ, or frenulum (fren-u-lum). This is a fold of tissue that connects the gum to the lip and sometimes contains muscle tissue. If it is unusually large it may connect through to the gum tissue between the teeth and extend to the anterior (front) portion of the roof of your mouth, or palate.
