With the holidays approaching, the onset of a cold sore can be an especially unwelcome development. While these sores are a nuisance at any time, it can be embarrassing to think you might have one when you meet with friends and families for gatherings you have looked forward to. At our Rochester, MN dentist’s office, we can meet with you to provide laser treatment to help you deal with this matter. With our special soft tissue laser, we can address the matter so that your cold sore heals in a shorter time, causes less discomfort, and is less likely to become an infection risk. We also provide laser treatments when we perform work to address active periodontal problems.
A Cold Sore Can Cause Real Embarrassment
It can be difficult to hide a cold sore, and it can also be hard to hide your embarrassment at its eruption. In the past, you may have assumed your only option was to wait it out and hope it would subside quickly. Fortunately, you do have another option. At our practice, patients can meet with team members trained in the treatment of these sores with specially calibrated lasers. Through this service, we can reduce the time you spend waiting to heal, and we can lower your risk for possible complications.
Planning Laser Treatment To Address Your Sore
A soft tissue laser can directly target the site of a cold sore and help you recover from the harmful effects of its development. The process is more comfortable than you may expect, and you can undergo treatment without the need for anesthetic. In addition to dealing with bacteria, the laser can effectively cauterize the area where your sore has erupted, which can stop problems with bleeding from occurring. This is work that we can typically complete in as little as one visit.
Lasers Also Help With Periodontal Services
The use of soft tissue lasers is effective in periodontal treatments. With these tools, we can do work that targets bacteria threatening your gums with surprising precision. This makes your care more conservative and comfortable. By tending to the microbes that threaten your well-being, we can stop you from experiencing the kinds of complications from gum disease that lead to tooth loss and other forms of trouble.
