Have you heard of the phrase “tongue-tied”? If you haven’t, it’s when the thin tissue in your mouth called a “frenum” is overgrown. A frenum is a thin band of connective tissue.
You have two main frena in your mouth:
Your lingual frenum connects the base of your tongue to the bottom of your mouth.
Your labial frenum connects the insides of your lips to the front of your gums. You have two labial frena, one at the front of your upper jaw and another at the front of your lower jaw.
