Ozone Therapy
The main appeal of ozone is that it is a natural treatment with few side effects. Ozone therapy has been used in medicine for over 100 years but has been largely overshadowed by more mainstream treatments. Ozone therapy in dentistry is a simple, minimally invasive procedure that wards off tooth decay and keeps the mouth healthy. It is a powerful antimicrobial that kills bacteria and helps speed up healing. It also has anti-inflammatory and disinfectant properties. Find out below if ozone therapy is right for you.
What is Ozone Therapy?
Ozone therapy is an alternative treatment that uses oxygen in a medical-grade form to treat various conditions and diseases. Proponents of ozone therapy believe that it can:
Kill bacteria, viruses, and fungi
Reduce inflammation
Promote healing
Reduce pain
Boost the immune system
Ozone therapy is typically done in several sessions for a few weeks or months, depending on the severity of the condition being treated. The treatment should only be done by a trained professional such as a dentist or doctor.
How Does it Work?
Ozone is a colorless gas made from three oxygen atoms (O3). It is a reactive allotrope of oxygen formed when air is exposed to sunlight. It can be used as liquid or gas in many dental treatments. When used correctly, it is safe and effective. Ozone is used to kill bacteria, reduce inflammation, and help heal small cavities.
A build-up of plaque on the teeth causes tooth decay. This plaque is made up of bacteria, food particles, and saliva. When this plaque is not removed, it can harden and contribute to gum disease (periodontitis). Gum disease is an infection of the gums that can cause redness, swelling, and bleeding. When left untreated, it can damage the bones and tissues supporting the teeth.
Ozone therapy kills the bacteria that cause these conditions while reducing inflammation. This promotes healing and prevents further damage to the teeth and gums.
What is The Use of Ozone in Dentistry?
When ozone is used in therapy, it is usually in the form of ozone gas or ozonated water. Aside from treating chronic conditions, ozone therapy has many uses in dentistry.
Ozone is used to kill bacteria and disinfect the mouth before surgical procedures. It can be applied directly to the affected tooth in gas form or as a mouthwash or ozonated water.
Ozone has antibacterial properties that prevent cavities from forming, and it helps to remineralize tooth structure.
Ozone is also used as an adjunct to dental procedures. Some dentists are now recommending that patients use ozonated products at home.
Ozone treatment is often used as a part of a root canal or extraction procedure.
Ozone can also be used to disinfect equipment and surfaces in the dental office.
