Ozone therapies

One of the most complex and perplexing problems in dentistry today is infection control. The mouth is full of microorganisms normally living in balance with the entire body. Under certain conditions pathogenic or “disease causing” microorganisms can become the dominant life forms, thus creating infection. What if we had an agent that could treat and eliminate the infection and, in addition, support the surrounding healthy tissue without toxic side effect? We do now with ozone therapy for dentistry.

Ozone, when introduced into the body, creates what is called a “transient oxidative burst”. The infective microorganisms have no defense against this reaction, and, as a result, die. Thus, ozone disinfects the area treated, both safely and effectively, without the side effects or antibiotic resistance potential of traditional antibiotics.

The “oxidative burst” induces a multitude of natural biochemical and physiologic reactions. These reactions include:

• Better blood flow
• Enhanced immune response
• And a more rapid healing response
• No chance of allergic reactions

Some of the dental issues Ozone can help treat include, but are not limited to:

• Periodontal disease
• Infected Teeth
• Tooth Decay
• Cavities
