Laser dentistry uses a focused beam of light to treat the gums and soft tissues precisely and gently — often with less discomfort, less bleeding, and faster healing than traditional methods. At White Pine Dental in Port Moody, we use laser therapy to reduce harmful bacteria below the gumline (Laser Bacterial Reduction), support healthier gums, and treat oral lesions and cold sores. Most treatments are completed right during your regular visit.

Oral aphthous ulcers, and cold sores that appear on the lip/border of lip area can be extremely uncomfortable or painful. Treatment with the laser can help reduce pain and shorten the healing time.
For the best results, treating lesions within their first 48 hours of appearance, or in the case of a cold sore, during the prodromal or “tingling stage” is ideal.
NOTE : Herpetic lesions (cold sores) are highly contagious, and we cannot see you for regular treatment while the lesion is in the vesicle stage.
NOTE : In order for us to treat a cold sore at least a part of it must be touching the lip.
Immediately provides a temporary anesthetic effect to the area of discomfort that usually lasts about ½ hour.
