Slow Healing or Mouth Soreness

If you're healing slowly after a procedure, dealing with a canker sore, or an irritated spot that's taking a while to settle, it's worth asking your dentist about extra support. Dr. Bentler or Dr. Simmons may recommend low-level laser therapy alongside your treatment to ease discomfort and help your mouth heal faster — without cutting, drilling, or numbing anything.

How We Evaluate at The Holistic Dental Center

At your visit, Dr. Bentler or Dr. Simmons will look at the area you're concerned about and let you know whether laser therapy is a good fit to add to your treatment. There's no separate test needed — it's a quick, in-chair evaluation built right into the appointment you already have scheduled.

What Happens Next

If laser therapy is recommended, your dentist holds a small handheld device near the area for a few minutes — no heat, no pressure, no downtime. You can go right back to your day afterward. If you're not sure whether laser therapy could help your recovery, call The Holistic Dental Center at (509) 325-2051 and we'll talk it through with you.
