What's the advantages of laser treatment?

By exposing most lesions to the optimum levels of laser radiation, healing is enhanced several times greater than what is seen in "normal" wound resolution.

Low-level laser treatment is easy to do, safe, low cost per treatment (laser batteries), painless and effective. Patients who have continuous oral sore problems may be advised to treat their own lesions using their own lasers under proper supervision (e.g., periodic exams). This treatment can reduce much pain and cost over a patient's lifetime.
