The Center For Holistic Dental Medicine infuses ozone therapy in several dental procedures because of its potent antimicrobial properties and potential to unlock your body’s immunity system. Ozone therapy integrates seamlessly into our holistic dentistry. It is natural, non-invasive, and safe. Ozone therapy ensures superior outcomes if used for periodontal care, cavity treatment, or disinfecting tissues before surgery.
The ozone layer, known for its natural presence of ozone gas in the atmosphere, protects us from harmful UV light. Ozone is a naturally occurring gas made of three oxygen molecules. The additional molecule in ozone enhances its reactivity, making it a powerful therapeutic ingredient.
Bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other pathogens have few to no antioxidant enzymes. When ozone comes into contact with these microorganisms, it creates an oxidative burst, instantly killing pathogens. In contrast, healthy cells contain antioxidant enzymes, which protect them from oxidizers like ozone. Exposing oral tissues to ozone eliminates harmful pathogens while preserving healthy tissues.
Ozone therapy can be administered as a gas, oil, or ozonated water. Whatever the form, ozone is an excellent disinfectant often used to sterile the oral cavity before specific procedures. It also stimulates healing by improving blood circulation to the treated areas.
Your dentist can use ozone in the following dental procedures.
Your dentist can also sterilize dental equipment with ozone. Unlike some chemical disinfectants that may be selective, ozone is effective against a wide range of pathogens, making it highly effective for sterilization.
Here are the benefits of ozone therapy:
