The odds are that you have heard about ozone and probably know it’s something to do with the atmosphere. That’s right, but ozone plays an incredible role in dentistry. Holistic dental clinics like The Center for Holistic Dental Medicine – Glenn A. MacFarlane, DMD, use this energised form of oxygen to administer several dental care procedures, including periodontal therapy and extractions. If you are in Red Bank, New Jersey, please book an appointment with our dental office to see what ozone therapy can do for your oral health.
Ozone dentists generate ozone gas using a generator that converts oxygen (O2) molecules to ozone (O3). Depending on the treatment, Dr. MacFarlane may apply ozone gas directly to your mouth, while in other cases, the gas may be mixed with water or oil.
