🦷 Cold Sores & Dental Appointments — What You Should Know
Cold sores are very common, and they can happen to anyone. If you have an active cold sore at the time of your dental appointment, we will ask you to reschedule — and here’s why 🤍
✨ It’s about safety, not judgment
• Dental treatment can irritate a cold sore and slow healing
• Cold sores are highly contagious during active stages
• There’s a higher risk of spreading infection to other areas of the mouth, face, or hands
💡 The good news:
Once your cold sore has healed, it’s completely safe to come in — and we’ll be happy to take care of you.
If you notice a cold sore before your visit, please call us to cancel and rebook at no charge (1 BUSINESS DAY MINIMUM*). Thank you for helping us keep our clinic safe and comfortable for everyone 💚
