What Is the Difference Between the Two Sores?
Cold sores and canker sores are easily confused, but they are actually quite different. Cold sores form on or around your lips. They usually blister then crust over. They are caused by a common virus. Mouth ulcers are small, smooth, pale ulcers which develop on the squamous epithelium inside the mouth, including the tongue. Both can be seriously uncomfortable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the laser treatment hurt?
Most patients feel a mild, warm sensation and little else. There are no needles, and many say the sore feels noticeably calmer as soon as the short session is done.
How soon should I come in?
The earlier the better. Treating a sore at the first tingle or the moment it appears tends to give the best comfort and the quickest recovery.
Is the treatment really drug-free?
Yes. The diode laser works on the sore directly, so there is no cream to apply or medication to take, which suits patients who prefer to avoid topical products.
Can I receive cold & canker sore treatment near you for recurring sores?
Absolutely. If sores keep returning, contact our office, and we can treat the current one while talking through possible triggers to help you manage future flare-ups.
Will the sore come back?
Laser treatment eases a current sore but cannot promise it is your last. Good rest, a balanced diet, and lower stress all seem to help many people between episodes. We can share practical tips on triggers and timing so you feel more in control when one appears.
