Gentle laser dentistry focuses the power on herpetic leisions (cold sores).

Cold sores can be uncomfortable, unaesthetic, and inconvenient.  They generally break out in response to trauma, or whenever physical or psychological stress levels spike.

Once you experience the tell-tale tingling sensation, it's only a matter of time before a full-blown sore appears.  Then, healing can take as long as two weeks, and quality of life may be significantly compromised.  Therefore, it is critical to begin laser treatment before the sore has had a chance to develop.

Catch it in time with laser treatment, and the cold sore will not break out.
