Ozone Therapy

The following is from The International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology

What is Ozone and Why is it Used?

Ozone is simply an energized form of oxygen (03). In the atmosphere, it is formed naturally by the sun and works to filter out harmful UV rays. Ozone also has powerful anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal
properties. It is even produced by our own white blood cells to eliminate infections.

How Can Ozone benefit me?

Many therapies in dentistry involve the elimination of infections. Ozone not only has the ability to effectively treat pathogens (even those resistant to other treatments), but is able to do so without any harmful byproducts.
addition, it increases circulation, enhances the immune response and promotes more rapid healing.

Uses of Ozone in Dentistry

The therapeutic properties of Ozone are truly remarkable. It is rare to find a treatment that is not only incredibly effective, but has little to no side effects. For this reason Ozone has a wide range of applications and can be used in even the most sensitive individuals.

• Non-chemical treatment of gum disease
• Reduce infections in root canal therapy
• Disinfect teeth after removal of decay
• Treat cavitations and systemic infections
• Promote healing after surgical procedures
• Reduce disease causing biofilms

Is Ozone Safe?

Yes! If used and applied properly, ozonated water oxygen, and oils have proven to be very safe. As with all medical procedures, only your healthcare provider can determine if this procedure is right for you.
