Optimize Your Oral Health Naturally with Ozone Therapy

Ozone is pivotal at the Center for Holistic Dentistry. The use of ozone permeates almost every portion of our work at our Los Angeles, California, office. Ozone therapy is central to most treatments, from dental fillings and periodontal care to cavity treatments. If you want to know how this holistic treatment can benefit your oral health, please reserve an appointment with Drs. Mamta Dalwani, Chela Altman, and Menachem Oren. 

Ozone therapy explained

Ozone (O3) has been utilized in various medical and dental applications due to its potential therapeutic properties. In dentistry, ozone therapy is vital in reducing the risk of infection in wounds and improving recovery from dental procedures.

Ozone is an energized form of oxygen that is highly reactive as it tries to ditch the extra atom to convert to oxygen, which is more stable. It’s this process that gives ozone its exceptional therapeutic abilities. Whether used in the form of gas, oil, or water, ozone can be applied in teeth, gums, and other tissues to kill bacteria, detoxify, and improve recovery.

Applications of Ozone Therapy in Dentistry

As mentioned, ozone is highly effective in eliminating disease-causing microorganisms. When applied to your tissues, ozone causes a transient oxidative burst that kills bacteria, viruses, protozoa, fungi, and other pathogens while leaving your healthy tissues intact. 

Because of its antimicrobial properties and other benefits, ozone therapy has many uses in dentistry, including:

• Cavity treatment: Biological dentists use ozone to disinfect and sterilize cavities before placing dental fillings. Ozone removes all bacteria, eliminating recurrent infections. When the infection happens near a nerve, ozone can prevent the death of the nerve
• Gum disease treatment: Sinking your gums in ozone helps reduce inflammation, kills harmful bacteria, and promotes gum tissue healing for patients with gum disease
• Tooth sensitivity: Ozone can be used to desensitize teeth, reducing discomfort caused by tooth sensitivity, often by altering the nerve response in the tooth
• Oral surgery: Irrigating the surgical site with ozone sterilizes the area and promotes oxygen levels in the blood, promoting faster healing
• Reverse dental caries: Ozone can promote remineralization, reversing minor cavities and dental decay. This reduces the need for dental drilling and treatment with fillings

Ozone therapy seamlessly integrates into holistic dentistry because it avoids the use of chemical disinfectants and medications that may harm the body. Additionally, avoiding antibiotic use helps us eliminate antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria.
