Frenectomy- huh?

I had a Frenectomy on my labial frenum this afternoon which is the removal of the band connecting the lip to the gum in front of the teeth. Apparantly, this small band is causing receding of my gums so it has become a necessary procedure to undergo. It was quick and done with a laser so no bleeding. It's a bit painful tonight but luckily my dentist gave me some generic hydrocodone to ease the pain.

I'd take a picture but the gaping hole is pretty disgusting. So, I'm sitting here very relaxed with a damp cotton roll in my mouth. I'm thinking it's time to catch some ZZZ's.

What doctor did it? I'm looking for someone local that uses the laser.
