Laser cold sore treatment is an innovative and effective method we offer at Degenhardt Dental to manage and treat cold sores, also known as fever blisters. This advanced technique uses a specialized dental laser to target the affected area, providing quick relief and promoting faster healing.
The key to successful laser treatment of cold sores is early intrvention. When you feel the telltale tingling or burning sensation that often precedes a cold sore outbreak, seeking treatment as soon as possible is crucial. By applying the laser at this early stage, we can significantly reduce the lifespan of the cold sore and minimize its severity.
How Does the Dental Laser Work?
The laser works by delivering concentrated light energy to the affected area, which can:
- Reduce pain and discomfort
- Decrease inflammation
- Stimulate healing
- Potentially prevent the cold sore from fully developing
The treatment is quick, usually taking only a few minutes, and is generally painless. Many patients report immediate relief following the procedure, with visible improvements in the days following treatment.
