That’s why we offer quick, effective relief with our gentle laser cold sore treatment, designed to ease discomfort fast and help you get back to smiling with confidence. With our help, you can get out of pain and get back to your holiday festivities in just one quick visit!

Why Do Cold Sores Flare Up During the Holidays?

The holiday season can be a perfect storm for cold sore flare-ups. Between colder weather, stress from travel or planning, and changes in your routine, your immune system may be more vulnerable.

Add in holiday treats and drinks that can trigger outbreaks, and it’s no surprise these unwelcome sores seem to appear when you least want them. Common triggers for holiday cold sores include:

  • Increased emotional or physical stress
  • Dry, chapped lips from winter air
  • Exposure to sun or wind during outdoor activities
  • Changes in sleep or diet

By recognizing these triggers, you can minimize the chances of cold sores disrupting your holiday plans. But if one does sneak up, we’re here to help.

How Laser Treatment Offers Fast Relief

Laser therapy is an innovative, non-invasive option for treating cold sores, and it’s becoming increasingly popular for a good reason. It takes just a single quick visit, is gentle, and can resolve mild or still-developing cold sores within one or two days.

Dr. Julia Hill uses advanced dental laser technology at Breeze Dental to target active cold sore outbreaks, providing relief from pain and helping lesions heal more quickly. Here’s what you can expect:

  • Treatment time is usually under 15 minutes
  • Most patients report reduced pain and faster healing
  • The laser sterilizes the sore, reducing viral activity immediately
  • No numbing, needles, or downtime needed

With early treatment, laser therapy can even stop a cold sore from fully forming, in some cases. If you’ve experienced cold sores before, scheduling a visit at the first symptom can help you stay ahead of discomfort and avoid inconvenient flare-ups over the holidays.
