1.How does laser treatment work for tongue ulcers?
The soft cold diode laser we use works by altering nerve conduction within the lesion; it evaporates the tissue around the sore and disinfects the area. The laser also stimulates cellular renewal, accelerating wound healing time and shortening the duration of the sore. Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) has shown excellent results in alleviating pain from oral ulcers and achieving complete remission.
Laser treatment for recurrent aphthous stomatitis is a simple, quick, and painless procedure. Studies indicate that ulcers treated with laser therapy experience immediate pain relief and reduced recurrence in the future. Compared to other treatment options, the main advantage of LLLT is that it can be used for all etiologies without any side effects or the risk of drug overdose. In summary, laser therapy provides benefits for both clinicians and patients.
