A member asked:
Is it normal for the piece that connects from ur tongue to the bottom of ur mouth(think its called a frenum) to have a white-ish color?

Maybe: some people do have a slight white tinge to their frenulum. If it is very white, feels hard or any redness, bleeding or pain your should be seen by doctor or dentist. Hope this was helpful. Best of luck. Dr. R

It is normal color: It is not pink in color it is more of a white color because it consists of an attachment of thin fibrous tissue. Keep the area clean and hygienic.
