Tooth paste doesn't really do any thing for cold sores, it doesn't have any antiviral properties which helps heal cold sores. The tooth paste may help sooth the symptoms, but it may take a while for the cold sore to go away. The best way to clear up a cold sore is to use Abreva or over the counter cold sore cream.
