Can You Treat Cold Sores with a Dental Laser? (Get Relief in 20 Minutes!)

Cold cores are no fun. They can be nasty looking, painful, and their timing is terrible.

Luckily, our North Oaks, MN dentist can help you relieve cold sores and canker sores symptoms. How?

Dr. Lexi Lippe can treat cold sores with a dental laser called the diode laser.

Primarily, this dental laser is used in Periodontology – treating gum disease – and for minimally invasive soft tissue surgery. However, the diode laser can also alleviate your cold sore or canker sore symptoms.

Opens new tab to article on cold soresStudies have shown certain dental lasers, like ours, are effective in eliminating painful symptoms and reducing cold sores.

For best results, you should get a laser treatment during the initial outbreak stage – when you feel a tingling or burning sensation before the sore actually appears. In doing so, you may even prevent the outbreak altogether.

You will love our cold sore laser treatment because it takes less than 20 minutes. We can get you back in public without concerns about your appearance!

Unlike other cold sore treatments, the laser does not have side effects and provides fast-acting relief during and after the treatment.
