Getting a cold sore can be painful and disruptive, but relief is available with fast and effective laser treatment at Broken Arrow Dental and Implants.
Advanced Cold Sore Laser Treatment in Broken Arrow, OK
Cold sores often heal independently within a few weeks, and over-the-counter creams may provide temporary relief. However, laser cold sore treatment dramatically reduces healing time and discomfort while helping prevent future outbreaks. This non-invasive therapy targets the virus directly, which stops the cold sore from progressing and often prevents it from returning to the same spot.
Seeing your dentist at the first sign of an outbreak can make all the difference. Laser treatment offers immediate relief, shortens the duration of symptoms, and minimizes scarring. Many patients experience significant improvement within 24 hours and reduced recurrence over time.
