What does Frenum look like?
A frenum is a strip of connective tissue underlying mucosa, typically under the tongue (lingual frenum) or between the teeth and the lips (labial frenum). These strips essentially hold the lips or tongue in place. Sometimes these frena (plural) can be too short, and they can interfere with the normal movement of the tongue or they can prevent the front teeth from coming together, leaving a space called a diastema. There is a simple surgical procedure called a frenectomy in which the frenum is severed and the ends are separated until it heals. This restores normal function.
