Cold Sore & Canker Sore Treatment

Mouth sores, in addition to being uncomfortable and painful, are often very visible. Canker sores, the small and shallow ulcers found inside the mouth, can be caused by stress, injury, and certain foods. Cold sores, the painful and fluid-filled blisters found on the outside of the mouth are caused by the herpes simplex Type 1 virus. Cold sores are extremely contagious, about 90% of people will experience a cold sore at least once in their lifetime.    Both canker and cold sores cause discomfort and pain while doing everyday activities, such as eating or brushing teeth. They will typically go away on their own after one or two weeks. However, there is a medication that can reduce irritation and pain and speed healing time. EZCare Clinic practitioners can evaluate symptoms and recommend proper treatment.  At EZCare Clinic in San Francisco, we assess your cold sore and canker sore and establish a personalized care plan that fits your lifestyle.
