The lesions usually heal on their own in 7-10 days, however we can provide treatments to reduce the pain and decrease healing time. Cold sores and canker treatments include application of creams, sometimes oral pills and now the use of lasers.

 

Laser dentist Dr. Michael Mazaheri treats canker and cold sores with a special dental laser calibrated for these lesions. By using a soft tissue laser, we can reduce the pain and decrease healing time soon after laser therapy. Laser also helps kill the Herpes Simplex virus responsible for many of the cold sores.
