How To Treat A Tear In The Frenulum After Stretching It?

I have torn the frenulum under my tongue through pulling of my tongue, I heard it snap. I only did it yesterday and it didn t bleed much but is sore today and I can see that is is torn. Do I need to see a dentist or should it heal by itself? Thank you.

Hello

Thanks for consulting HCM,

Read your query, as you have injury in lingual frenum I will suggest you to consult dentist and go for examination of frenum and if needed discuss with your dentist and go for ointment application for healing like Pansoral or Mucopain on injured frenum and vitamin B supplements , do warm saline rinses , Avoid eating hot and spicy food , and restrict your tongue movements until it heals.

Hope this will help you.
