Is a ruptured lip frenulum harmful? How to deal with it?

The lip frenulum is a connecting band on the upper part of the lip skin. This band is very important to the oral cavity because the lip frenulum plays an important role in the movement of the lip skin. Some people may have their lip frenulum broken due to some unexpected situations. So, is there any danger in having a broken lip frenulum? How to deal with it? Let’s take a look at the simple explanation below. I hope everyone can understand.

harm:

After the lip frenulum is broken, it will not cause much impact on the body, but it will cause the child's lips to be everted, which will seriously affect the child's face and may make the child ugly.

Solution:

1. The lip frenulum is a soft tissue that grows in the mouth. Wounds in the mouth are easy to heal. As long as the wound is not infected, the frenulum will mostly heal on its own and return to its original shape. Because the baby is still young, there is no need to suture it. It is best to let it recover naturally.

2. Upper lip frenulum laceration generally does not cause lip deformation due to the laceration scar. You can go to a regular hospital for further treatment to correct the lip frenulum laceration. The timing for repair surgery of lip frenulum laceration in children is generally recommended to be around 10 years old. If the scar tissue of the lip frenulum laceration becomes thicker and grows between the frontal and central incisors to form a pathological dental gap, you should go for dental surgery to remove the thickened and thickened upper lip frenulum that grows into the two upper frontal incisors.

3. If the wound is not big, it will heal on its own and will not cause any problems with future development and speech. Otherwise, please go to the dental department of a regular hospital for treatment, as sutures are required. If the frenulum of the upper lip is broken, you should go to the hospital to have it sutured. Otherwise, the scar of the frenulum of the upper lip will grow into the space between the two incisors of the upper jaw, forming a larger gap between the incisors and affecting the appearance. If the wound is really large, you should go to the hospital for treatment to be more at ease.

The above is an explanation of whether a ruptured lip frenulum is harmful and how to deal with it. Generally speaking, this situation has little impact on adults, but once a child has this problem, treatment is required.
