Stop Cold Sores in Their Tracks

Cold sores always seem to show up at the worst times—causing discomfort, irritation, and frustration. That familiar tingle or itch is often the first sign, and before you know it, an uncomfortable blister appears. But you don’t have to just wait it out.

Laser treatment offers a fast, comfortable way to stop a cold sore before it fully develops or speed up healing if one has already surfaced. A quick session can help reduce discomfort and even make future outbreaks less frequent.

Don’t let a cold sore take over your week. Book an appointment at Springbank Dental Centre today for fast relief.

Does Laser Therapy Hurt?

Laser treatment for cold sores is quick and typically pain-free. Most people feel a warm or tingling sensation during the procedure. The process only takes a few minutes, and there’s no damage to surrounding healthy tissue.

After treatment, a small scab may form as the area heals, but it should resolve quickly.

Can Laser Therapy Help with Canker Sores?

Yes! While canker sores are different from cold sores—they’re not contagious and don’t appear outside the mouth—laser therapy can still help. Canker sores may be triggered by stress, allergens, certain toothpastes, or even minor gum trauma from brushing.

Soft tissue laser therapy can:

• Target the nerve endings in the lesion to reduce pain
• Speed up healing without the need for anesthesia
• Provide immediate relief in a fast, needle-free procedure

If you struggle with recurring canker sores or cold sores, laser therapy can be an effective and convenient solution.
