Pre Procedure
We recommend starting pre-frenectomy Myofunctional therapy or tongue strengthening exercises as soon as you are considering the procedure. You may not be able to perform all the exercises because of your restrictions but it will get your brain and anatomy prepared for the aftercare.
Tongue Strengthening Exercises
Start massaging the areas to stretch out tight muscles and get your child used to your hands in the mouth. You may use clean hands and coconut oil to massage or just clean hands. A good time to do this is when you are brushing teeth.
Check out the Myo exercises PDF below and start trying to strengthen the tongue muscle as much as possible.
