Went a-googling after I noticed DS's upper lip frenum (under top lip
at centre front) looks thick and long, just like in the pics in the
presentation, (In fact I wondered at first if he'd sucked the inside
of his upper lip between his front teeth) and I'm wondering if I
should do something, and if so, who I should ask for an assessement.


I had a severe diastema from an upper frenum that extended down between my
front teeth. Had it removed under general anesthesia when I was about 8. No
idea how the preop work was done (e.g., who my parents had me see) but I can
ask my mom about it.


yes please, tho you're a long way off ;-)
the pics on teh site were of an 8yo....would the surgery not be done
sooner? (ie when should I worry?) Did you need orthodontics afterwards?
