Dentist Reccomendation: Cut skin between gum/lip???
I'm comfortable with this dental practice--they are good with kids, seem to do good work, most up to date technology in office, etc.
Last dentist apt., Dentist said DD may need stretch of skin between lip and gum-cut. If it doesn't get cut by accident (fall, hit with ball, etc) by age 8, it may continue to enlarge space between 2 front teeth. Dentist made it sound very quick/easy with little to no recover time. Not looking forward to it but she does have a space between teeth right now and has not lost top baby teeth yet. I think the skin is called "*****l fold"
Has anyone had this done or know someone who went through it?
(I guess the medical term can be misinterpretted as something in another part of the body!--hence the site-editing with astericks)
