Mouth Ulcer Treatment in Bengaluru — Laser Pain Relief
Painful mouth ulcers (aphthous sores) can be treated with a single laser application that dramatically reduces pain within minutes and cuts healing time from 10–14 days to 3–5 days. 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 particularly effective in reducing pain and accelerating healing of 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 effectively reduces discomfort.
Laser Treatment
A 2–3 minute application of the Novolase Diode Laser creates immediate, dramatic pain relief (often within minutes) and reduces healing time from 10–14 days to 3–5 days. No anaesthetic required for most patients.
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 reduces inflammation, promotes cellular repair, and modulates pain signals. Most patients notice a significant reduction in pain within minutes of the procedure, and the ulcer heals 50–70% faster than without treatment.
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.
