Gentle Laser Dentistry

As anyone who suffers from them knows, a cold sore can be uncomfortable, unaesthetic, and inconvenient.  You have learned that they generally break out in response to trauma, or whenever physical or psychological stress levels get out of control. Once the tell-tale prickly sensation becomes noticeable, it's only a matter of time before a full-blown sore appears.  Then, healing can take as long as two weeks.  During the process, quality of life may be significantly compromised.  Therefore, it is critical to initiate laser treatment before the sore has had a chance to develop.  Catch it in time, and it will not break out.

Lasing is Truly Amazing 

Laser treatment is high tech and yet it is surprisingly affordable.  When Photonic Laser Energy is focused on the affected area, the virus responsible for the cold sore is destroyed.  (No virus - no cold sore).  Sores are stopped  cold.  The discomfort associated with the sore disappears immediately.  Relief is instantaneous.  Incredibly, most of our patients who are treated at the "tingling lip" stage never even develop the sore.  If the sore has already broken out, after treatment the lip returns to normal in a matter of days, instead of in two weeks without laser treatment.  Not only does the lip get back to normal more quickly, but it remains comfortable during the healing process.  The entire process takes just a few minutes out of your busy day. 

Photonic energy promotes healing through "bio-stimulation" deep within the tissues of the lip.  Sores reoccur with less frequency and less intensity at the site that has been treated with the laser.  Remember, there is virtually no discomfort during or following laser treatment of cold sores.  (Click on this link to learn more about: Dental Lasers, Directions, Canker Sore Treatment, Laser Cold Sore Treatment, and Low Level Laser Therapy).

Once You've Tried it, You Can't Stop Smiling 

Frankly, laser therapy is better than anything you have ever tried - period.  It is in a league of its own when compared to over-the-counter medication and outperforms anti-viral prescription medication.  It is very quickly and comfortably accomplished without the need for anesthetic and it is insurance reimbursable.  There is no discomfort associated with treatment.  In fact, the only sensation that may be experienced is a warm feeling on the lip.  After just a few minutes, you will be on your way out the door.  Additional treatment at 24 hour intervals makes the therapy even more successful.  By the way, Energy Medicine is also very effective on canker sores for the same reasons.  The stinging sensation is eliminated in seconds and healing is rapid and uneventful.   (Click on this link to learn more about Soft Laser Therapy).
