Cold sores are caused by a virus that lives in the nerves within our bodies. They can be painful and unsightly, but are also contagious at some stages. It is best to have treatment to reduce those effects. Our office offers a laser treatment solution for those with cold sores. The procedure is quick and painless. It involves about 5-10 minutes of treatment with a laser to deactivate the virus. It works best to have the treatment done as soon as the symptoms arise. This usually means treatment will need to be completed in the first 1-2 days. If the treatment occurs at that time, it will greatly reduce the symptoms or eliminate it completely. It often prevents the cold sore from re-occurring in that same place.
This service may be covered by your dental insurance. If not, the treatment is $72. Please give us a call if you are interested! Because it is time sensitive, we will do our best to squeeze this treatment into our schedule.

There is obvious teamwork and endeavorsto take care of their patients the best way possible. Nobody relishes the impending dentist appointment. I was genuinely impressed with Dr. Wolken. Her touch is so gentle and she communicates caring and compassion, frequently questioning if you’re ok. This trip to the dentist has not been uncomfortable at all. The staff deserve recognition and praise for their efforts to make positive impressions."
