Whether experiencing your first cold sore or dealing with recurring outbreaks, we offer comprehensive care to help you find relief.
Effective Cold Sore Treatments
Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV), which can trigger painful blisters around the lips or mouth. While there is no cure for cold sores, effective treatments can help manage symptoms, reduce the duration of outbreaks, and prevent further flare-ups. At Great Lakes Dental, we offer personalized treatment options tailored to your needs.
Our Cold Sore Treatment Options:
Antiviral Medication
We may prescribe antiviral medications to help reduce the severity and duration of an outbreak. These medications target the virus, preventing it from spreading and causing further irritation.
Topical Creams
For localized relief, we recommend over-the-counter or prescription topical creams to soothe the affected area and reduce discomfort.
Laser Therapy
Laser treatments can help reduce the pain and swelling associated with cold sores while promoting healing by stimulating blood flow to the area.
Pain Management
We advise managing pain during an outbreak, including cold compresses, over-the-counter pain relievers, and proper oral hygiene to avoid further irritation.
Preventative Care
In some cases, we may discuss preventative options, including lifestyle changes and avoiding known triggers, to reduce the likelihood of future outbreaks.
