Ozone Therapy

What is Ozone Therapy?

Ozone gas is that high-altitude space barrier protecting us from the atmosphere’s most harmful rays. Used in a directed, concentrated form, it kills viruses and bacteria in the mouth within seconds. A biological dentist uses this to disinfect teeth rotting with cavities and disinfect the area of a root canal prior to filling it.

Ozone therapy uses the elemental form of oxygen as a powerful cleaning oxidizer that drastically minimizes the chance of a secondary infection spreading into the body through the mouth.

How is Ozone Therapy used in dentistry?

Instead of Fluoride: Ozone gas it is a safe alternative to fluoride and can be applied at regular cleanings and checkups in lieu of the fluoride method.
Patient Safety: You cannot be allergic to ozone, because you cannot be allergic to oxygen. Ozone does not have any contraindications with other medications, therefore cross-reactions are not a concern at all.
Periodontal Disease: Ozone gas is used to create ozonated water that is flushed below the gum line and/or by ozone gas being infiltrated into gum and supporting tissues to help treat periodontal disease.
Decay: Since ozone is a gas, it can permeate into areas below the gum line, into the grooves of teeth and over the smooth surfaces of the teeth and will kill decay-causing bacteria on contact.
