Large upper maxillary frenum

2019-12-01 11:39:19
Hello sir / madam I have gap in my front two teeth,one dat while just having a look on my upper gums I stretched my frenum and it showed a white cyst kind of thing which went back to normal when I relaxed my frenum, I consulted my dentist for the same He told me that these are the upper tissues of the frenum that have hardened because of gap in the front teeth because of which you have a large frenum too. I wanted an advice on the same that is there any ointment or something, I was also worried about mouth cancer because I had a habbit of smoking which I had quit one month ago. I want to inquire on the same too.  This is white and not yellow as in the picture.

Hi As your picture seems you have high frenal attachment which causes midline diastema..Anyhow complete clinical test has to be done for confirmation.... You have to go for frenectomy in case of ruling out of high frenal attachment after that you can go with orthodontic treatment to close the gaps between your teeth. You can also go for crowns for this tooth reduction has to be made over that crown has placed.... Complete clinical and radiological examination has to carried out to make complete treatment pkan
Next Steps
kindly visit dentist for further clinical examination and management

Proper diagnosis should be done by looking pictures can't tell anything, but if high or thick frenum is present and front tooth gap is there it can be corrected immediately
