What is ozone therapy in dentistry?
Ozone therapy is a form of treatment that uses ozone gas to treat various conditions affecting the mouth, teeth, and gums. Ozone is a natural element with strong oxidizing properties that can help reduce inflammation and kill bacteria. This makes it an effective tool for treating gum disease, cavities, and other oral health issues. The gas is applied directly to the affected area using a special applicator or as “ozonated water,” where ozone is dissolved in water and used as a rinse or spray. It can also be applied through a special suction cup that seals around the tooth and releases ozone right where it is needed to eradicate bacteria. At the same time, this begins the remineralization process. For patients with periodontal disease, it may be administered through a tray that fits over the teeth to treat the entire arch of teeth with a single treatment. One of the many benefits of ozone therapy is that it provides treatment without pain or discomfort while remaining versatile enough to use in many different dental treatments provided by our team.
What is ozone therapy used for?
Ozone therapy can be used for a wide range of issues in dentistry. It can:
- Prevent tooth decay by killing the harmful bacteria on the surfaces of the teeth
- Reduce the risk of gum disease by addressing the bacteria in plaque, tartar, and calculus deposits on teeth
- Help reduce inflammation associated with gingivitis or periodontal disease
- Improve healing after dental procedures, including root canal therapy
- Eliminate bad breath and other odor-causing oral bacteria
- Treat infections, including abscesses or thrush
