What is a labial frenulum?
It is found at the midline inside the upper lip. It is a flap of mucosa and connective tissue that holds the teeth close to the teeth. When there is an overgrowth and becomes large, it can pass between the two front upper teeth and cause a diastema.
Baby's upper lip connected to gums?
That connector is called a labial frenulum. In some children, the frenulum is elongated and attached all the way down their gums between their two front teeth. This can cause some problems, such as an inability to breastfeed, speech delays, or gapping of the front teeth. This can be corrected, if necessary, by a doctor cutting it in a procedure called a frenectomy.

Can a severed labial frenulum regrow?
It depends on how and why it was severed. If it was a result of accidental trauma, it probably will grow back unless severe damage was done. If it was the result of surgery designed to help close a gap between the two upper front teeth, it should not grow back - unless the necessary orthodontics were not performed to close the gap. In that case, the frenum might grow back over time.
Is an upper labial frenectomy recommended for young children?
Of course you know this procedure is to bring the two front teeth together. The research I've done was clear and although no age of the child was given this procedure is done in a dentist's office with freezing and is not painful. This decision is strictly up to you and your husband. If your child has their permanent front teeth in then yes, it would be best to have it done. However, please get a second opinion before having this procedure done.

What causes the space or gap between front teeth defined as frenum a genetic thing or from disease processes?
The frenum or frenulum linguae is the band of tissue beneath the tongue. The frenulum labii superioris is the band of tissue behind your upper lip. Neither have anything to do with the gap between your central incisors, which is called diastema or gap-tooth. The gap is probably genetic in most cases.
