Cold Sore Laser Therapy in Burlington, Ontario

Cold sores can be uncomfortable, painful, and frustrating, especially when they interfere with daily life or important events. At Beacon Hill Dental Centre, we offer advanced cold sore laser therapy in Burlington, Ontario to help reduce pain, shorten healing time, and minimize outbreaks using safe, non invasive dental laser technology.

What Is Cold Sore Laser Therapy?

Cold sore laser therapy is a modern treatment that uses low level dental laser energy to target the herpes simplex virus responsible for cold sores. When applied early, laser therapy can often stop a cold sore from fully developing. Even when applied later, it can significantly reduce pain, swelling, and healing time.

The treatment is quick, comfortable, and does not require needles or medication.

Benefits of Laser Treatment for Cold Sores

Patients choose laser therapy for cold sores because it offers:

Faster healing compared to untreated cold sores
Reduced pain and discomfort
Decreased inflammation and swelling
Lower risk of scabbing and scarring
Potential reduction in future outbreaks
No injections or downtime

Laser therapy is especially helpful for patients who experience frequent or severe cold sore outbreaks.

When Should Cold Sore Laser Therapy Be Used?

Cold sore laser therapy works best when applied at the earliest signs of an outbreak, such as tingling, itching, or burning around the lips. However, treatment can still be beneficial even if the cold sore has already appeared.

If you are prone to cold sores, contacting our Burlington dental office as soon as symptoms begin can help achieve the best results.

What Causes Cold Sores?

Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus type 1. Triggers may include stress, illness, fatigue, sun exposure, hormonal changes, or a weakened immune system. While there is no cure for the virus, laser therapy can help manage outbreaks more effectively.
