Light therapy for canker sores in children
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special light treatment (photobiomodulation) can help reduce pain from canker sores (aphthous ulcers) in children. It may be a good option for kids who get painful mouth sores during dental visits.
