At Mountain Health Dentistry, we understand that cold sores and canker sores can be painful, embarrassing and disruptive to your daily life. Our dentist and team use gentle laser technology to target these sores quickly, helping reduce discomfort and speed up healing while protecting the surrounding tissues.
Laser cold sore treatment is a fast, minimally invasive option that works on existing sores and often reduces the chance of future outbreaks in the same area. The laser energy kills the virus that causes the cold sore, decreases and/or eliminates sensitivity, and promotes natural healing without injections, incisions, nor medications.
If your canker sore is persistent, unusually large or extremely painful or if the sores appear to be spreading, we recommend a laser treatment to help you find relief as soon as possible. This simple in-office visit can make a meaningful difference in your comfort and confidence.
To immediately stop a cold sore, it is best to treat it as soon as the sensation of one is felt. Since the laser kills the virus of the cold sore, the cold sore does not progress to that ugly, embarrassing blistery stage.
After four to six times of treating cold sores with the laser, the time between episodes lengthens out, often resulting in years between breakouts.

Your appointment for laser cold sore treatment is designed to be efficient and therapeutic. In most cases, treatment takes only a few minutes and requires little to no recovery time. During your visit, you can expect:
