What Is Ozone Dental Therapy?
Ozone dental therapy utilizes ozone (O₃), a reactive, colorless gas composed of three oxygen atoms. When applied to affected areas, ozone disinfects by breaking down bacteria and viruses into harmless byproducts like carbon, oxygen, and water. This process not only eliminates pathogens but also enhances the body's oxygen utilization and activates the immune system, accelerating the natural healing process.
Applications of Ozone Dental Treatment
Ozone therapy is versatile and can be applied in various dental scenarios:
- Root Canals: Ozone gas can penetrate the root canal system, eliminating infection and increasing the success rate of the procedure.
- Tooth Sensitivity: Applying ozone can harden compromised tooth structures, reducing or eliminating sensitivity.
- Periodontal (Gum) Disease: Flushing ozonated water below the gum line or applying ozone gas to the gum tissue helps prevent periodontal disease by eradicating harmful bacteria.
- Tooth Decay: Ozone kills decay-causing bacteria, reaching hard-to-access areas below the gum line and within tooth grooves, thereby halting the progression of cavities.
These applications make ozone therapy a valuable tool in modern dentistry, offering patients a less invasive and more comfortable treatment option.
Benefits of Ozone Dental Therapy
- Non-Invasive: Ozone therapy is a painless procedure, making it ideal for patients with dental anxiety or sensitive teeth.
- Safe: When administered by trained professionals, ozone therapy is safe and free from significant side effects.
- Effective: Ozone effectively eliminates bacteria and viruses, promoting faster healing and reducing the risk of further infection.
What to Expect During Ozone Treatment
Ozone therapy can be administered in several ways, including:
- Gas Application: Ozone gas is applied directly to the affected area to disinfect and promote healing.
- Injections: Ozone can be injected to target deeper infections or specific areas within the oral cavity.
- Ozonated Water: Rinsing with ozonated water helps disinfect the mouth and is often used in conjunction with other treatments.
The method of application will depend on your specific dental needs and will be determined by our experienced dental team.
