Some people believe in putting toothpaste on cold sores. While it may dry out the area, toothpaste can irritate the skin and potentially make the cold sore worse! Instead, opt for antiviral creams or ointments designed to target the virus, keep the area clean, and wash your hands after treating it. Otherwise, avoid touching the sore to prevent spreading. Don’t hesitate to reach out to us for personalized cold sore care. Call us at (816) 331-4800

Short answer: No. Brushing your teeth removes plaque and bacteria, which can help prevent more damage. However, it can't fix the enamel or fill the hole left by a cavity. If you suspect that you have a cavity, please contact our office at (816) 331-4800 to schedule an appointment. We will provide you with the necessary evaluation and treatment options.
