You know those great finds you itch to tell your friends about? That’s how our dental team at The Center For Holistic Dental Medicine feels about dental ozone therapy. This minimally invasive procedure has many uses in dentistry, including eliminating bacteria and treating tooth decay. The next time you visit our Red Bank, New Jersey office, talk to Dr. Glenn MacFarlane to find out how ozone therapy can improve your oral health.
Ozone is an energized form of oxygen popular with dentists because of its antimicrobial properties. Ozone offers numerous therapeutic benefits in dentistry, owing to its antioxidant effects on bacteria, viruses, and other disease-causing organisms.
These pathogens have few, if any, antioxidant enzymes, which make them easily destroyable by the oxidizing potential of ozone. When we expose viruses and other pathogens to ozone, they almost die immediately. On the other hand, healthy cells remain intact, thanks to their antioxidant enzymes.
Whether applied in the form of gas, ozonated water, or oil, ozone has numerous uses in dentistry. In our office, ozone is integral in many treatments, including:
Ozone isn’t new in medicine. Medical practitioners have used ozone to treat various diseases over the years. Ozone is a naturally-occurring element used to deliver safe treatments without side effects.
Traditional treatments can treat dental problems, but as with all medicine, innovations provide an alternative approach to dentistry. Ozone therapy is one such advancement, which is why dentists and patients are falling in love with it.
Ozone therapy is a holistic treatment that fits our philosophy of addressing dental problems with minimal invasiveness.
