Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.

I provide this service. It will result in clearing up the sore quickly. If you have recurring sores, they still may recurr. I am not sure what our fee is, but I cannot imagine it is too expensive. If you have insurance, it should cover the exam.

Cost Estimate: $30-90
Our office treats cold sores with the waterlase. It is a relatively painless way to reduce the healing time. Another excellent treatment is Denavir ointment. Available by prescription only, it also reduces healing time and would be less expensive than the laser. Denavir is about $30, and laser treatment is around $90. Dr. Michael Rogers,Arlington, VA
