Cold Sore Laser Treatment at Advanced Dentistry
Cold sores are a common nuisance. Although there is no cure for the herpes simplex virus (HSV - 1 and HSV - 2) that causes them, cold sore breakouts can be managed and avoided. Cold sores, sometimes called fever blisters, appear around the lips and mouth and are often associated with red, swollen and irritated skin around the breakout areas.
Laser treatment at Advanced Dentistry is the most effective way to heal and prevent cold sore breakouts. Laser treatment not only relieves pain, but prevents future outbreaks as well.
