It is called a FRENUM. The most important ones are the ones that attache your upper and lwer lip to the gums and there is also one that attaces your tongue to the gum (lift your tongue up and you will see it).

Frenums are muscle attachments

Where the gum connects to the lips and cheek is called the buccal mucosa.
