When a canker sore emerges, you might find yourself running to the drugstore for Anbesol or any other numbing agent that will temporarily reduce the pain. You may also find yourself Googling every home remedy you can find to control the situation. Here at Alta Loma Dental Care, we are excited to introduce laser treatment of apthous ulcers (canker sores) and Herpes (cold sores), which promote reduced healing times.
Essentially, a canker sore is a small lesion/ulcer inside the mouth. They can appear almost anywhere in the mouth – the inner surface of the cheeks, and lips; the tongue; the soft palate; and the base of the gums. They can be rather painful, and can be caused by a stress, dietary deficiencies and triggered by citrus fruits. Laser treatment has several remedial effects on canker sores. Laser treatment stops the progression of sores so that they take a significantly shorter time to heal. It also results in rapid pain relief. Additionally, laser treatment can be preventative. Before a canker sore breakout, the lips will invariably start to tingle. Receiving laser treatment at this early stage will help stop the breakout in its tracks.
