Patient Aftercare
If your little one recently underwent a frenectomy, it’s important that you practice stretches to prevent any of the tissues from reattaching. Dr. Csok will provide detailed instructions regarding how to do these safely and quickly. You can expect there to be some soreness, especially the first few days.
The average timeframe for full recovery is up to six weeks; however, resuming normal daily activities will likely occur much sooner.
Post-Op Instructions
