Dr. Fuller supports your family






Children that are born with a maxillary frenum, a thick piece of skin that attaches the gum to the inside of their lip may need surgery. However, when they are first born the doctor may suggest you wait. Depending on the thickness and whether there is a problem with breastfeeding your doctor might insist that this is nothing to worry about. Dr. Cameron Fuller suggests, “having a consultation with a pediatric dentist in order to determine if surgery is necessary.”
     While you may find that all of this is overwhelming with a supportive team and a dentist that knows what he is doing they will be able to explain the process and help your family to feel more comfortable. 

At Pediatric Dentistry of Redlands and Associates, Dr.Fuller and his team will walk you through the procedure step by step in parent friendly terms.
Dr. Fuller understands how important it is for you to feel comfortable before the surgery can be completed. He will complete a full oral exam in order to know exactly what surgery is going to best fit the needs of your young one. While the surgery can be completed as soon as two days after the birth of your child it may be recommended that you wait in order to determine if the frenum will correct itself over time.
