Ozone in Dentistry

WHAT IS OZONE?:

Ozone (O3) is a naturally occurring gas made up of three oxygen molecules. Ozone works to kill viruses, bacteria, fungus, and parasites all on contact by breaking down the cell walls of these micro-organisms.

HOW CAN OZONE HELP WITH MY DENTAL CARE?:

Ozone can be helpful in all aspects of dental care. Some examples of how ozone is beneficial in dental health are:

• Treatment of periodontal disease (chronic gum and bone infection)
• Natural disinfection of infected root canals
• Arresting the progression of tooth decay
• Conservative treatment for pediatric cases
• Beyond dental benefits, ozone can be used to Treat sinus and ear infections or conditions

CAN I BE ALLERGIC TO OZONE?:

As ozone is simply an energized form of oxygen, it is impossible to be allergic to ozone.
