Frenectomy: Ankyloglossia can be corrected by performing a lingual frenectomy. In this procedure, the tendon that connects the underside of the tongue to the floor of the mouth is severed. Either a traditional scalpel or laser procedure can be performed by a periodontist, oral surgeon, or these days, any dentist or dental specialist who is laser-certified.
