Cold sores and oral lesions can be painful, uncomfortable, and disruptive. At High Street Dental, we provide laser treatments in Hingham, MA to promote faster healing and relief.
Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus and often recur during times of stress or illness. Laser therapy can significantly reduce healing time and discomfort when applied at the first sign of an outbreak.
The dental laser works by targeting the affected tissue with controlled energy. This helps reduce inflammation and may prevent the lesion from fully developing.
Patients often report immediate relief following treatment. Additionally, laser therapy may reduce the frequency and severity of future outbreaks. Laser treatment can also be used for canker sores and other soft tissue conditions. The procedure is quick, comfortable, and requires no downtime. Because the treatment is non-invasive, there is minimal risk of complications. Most patients return to normal activities immediately.
