Mouth Ulcer Treatment in Bangalore: Laser Pain Relief
Painful mouth ulcers (aphthous sores) can be treated with a single application of the Novolase Diode Laser, usually taking two to three minutes and usually without anaesthetic. Available at Dentick, BTM Layout and JP Nagar.
What Are Mouth Ulcers?
Aphthous ulcers (also called canker sores) are small, painful lesions that appear on the soft tissues inside the mouth.
Minor Aphthous Ulcers
The most common type: small, oval, with a white or yellow centre and red border. Heal on their own in 10–14 days. Recurrent minor ulcers can be treated with laser to dramatically speed recovery.
Major Aphthous Ulcers
Larger and deeper, these can take 4–6 weeks to heal and may leave scarring. Laser therapy is one of the options we will talk through for major ulcers.
Herpetiform Ulcers
Multiple small clusters of ulcers that merge. Though they look alarming, they are not related to the herpes virus. Laser treatment is one of the options for them.
Laser Treatment
A two to three minute application of the Novolase Diode Laser to the ulcer itself. No anaesthetic is needed for most patients, and we will tell you what to expect before we begin.
Mouth Ulcers: Common Questions
Common triggers include minor trauma (biting your cheek), stress, hormonal changes, nutritional deficiencies (B12, iron, folate), certain foods, and SLS in toothpaste. Recurrent ulcers may indicate an underlying immune or nutritional issue worth investigating.
Low-level laser therapy is applied directly to the ulcer. It is a short procedure, usually two to three minutes and usually without anaesthetic. How much difference it makes varies from person to person, and we will tell you what to expect before we begin.
No. Patients typically feel a mild warmth or tingling. No injections or anaesthetic are usually needed. The procedure takes 2–5 minutes per ulcer.
See a dentist if an ulcer has not healed within 3 weeks, is unusually large or painful, or keeps recurring. Persistent non-healing sores should always be evaluated to rule out other causes.
Laser treatment for mouth ulcers at Dentick typically costs ₹500–₹1,500 per session depending on the number and size of ulcers. The procedure is quick and the pain relief is immediate.
No. Ordinary canker sores (aphthous ulcers) are not contagious and are different from cold sores, which are caused by a virus and do spread. If you're ever unsure which type you have, we can tell you at a quick check-up.
