If you have a history of problems with cold sores, you can be aware of just how intrusive they are, but you can find it difficult to adjust to their impact on your life. Their development can be uncomfortable as well as embarrassing, and one that becomes infected can create real concern over your well-being. To treat them effectively, our Sheridan, WY dentist’s office can provide care with lasers to fight the microbes responsible for their formation. This can shorten their lifespan and even prevent eruption, and it can reduce your risk for an infection. Treatment can even prevent the development of a new sore in the same area.

Cold Sores Can Cause Embarrassment And Discomfort

The development of a painful blister in our around your mouth can be both a source of embarrassment and a cause of physical discomfort. When you have a history of developing cold sores, it can be a source of worry for you, as the arrival of the next one can mark a prolonged period of discomfort while it also raises your risk for problems with infection. Without the right care, their eruption can lead to weeks of unhappiness and embarrassment. Fortunately, this is a problem that you can fight. Through laser treatment, we can help you recover in less time and avoid potential complications!

Using Laser Tools To Address Cold Sores

With laser technology, we can actually target the virus that is responsible for the eruption of a cold sore. When a sore is treated before it erupts, we can stop it from fully developing and negatively affecting you. This means you do not have to feel uncomfortable with a prominent sore, and you do not have to worry that it might become infected before it eventually heals. The process of treating this problem can be surprisingly comfortable, which means sedation or anesthetic are not required.
