Do you have an unsightly and uncomfortable cold sore on your lip? To offer relief and improve smile beauty in only one visit, our team could provide treatment with laser dentistry. In today’s blog, your Sheridan, WY, dentist talks about how we can improve oral health with our advanced dental lasers.
Cold and Canker Sores
A cold sore is caused by the herpes simplex virus, and can easily be transferred to other people through a kiss or via shared utensils and hygiene products. A blister forms on the lips and is very visible and uncomfortable. They could also cause a sore throat and swollen lymph nodes. Canker sores are uncomfortable sores that form in the interior of your mouth. Both will go away with time or the assistance of special medications, but this could still take one to two weeks of discomfort and embarrassment. But our team can use advanced technology to shrink and remove them, so they vanish quickly and are less likely to ever appear in the same spot in the future!
Laser Dentistry
Dental lasers employ a concentrated beam of light that is specially calibrated to handle soft tissue concerns in your smile. We can treat issues with precision and accuracy, preventing damage to healthy tissues. The area heals quickly since there is no need for scalpels or sutures, and most people return to their normal routine after only a day of rest. The lasers also prevent bleeding, infection, and swelling in the treated areas too. Plus, the treatment requires no anesthesia! No need for a shot at all, just a procedure that can be completed in one visit and allow you to return to your daily activities the next day in most cases.
Other Treatment Options
Our team could also employ dental lasers to address a number of other concerns. We can use them to remove decay from a tooth, or to remove diseased tissues for those with severe gum disease, so healthy ones can reattach to the teeth and the disease can be more manageable, so you avoid complications like adult tooth loss. If you have a gummy smile, we can remove excess tissues and reshape the gum line to improve symmetry and correct cosmetic complaints. If you have any questions about how our team will implement these advanced technologies to address oral health issues in a single visit, then contact our team today to learn more. Let’s work together to help you enjoy your best possible smile.
