Ozone Therapy

Our biological dentists in West Palm Beach, FL, offer a wide range of holistic dental services to help you maintain a healthy smile for life. Depending on your situation, we may recommend ozone therapy to help eliminate harmful bacteria, reduce inflammation, and promote healing.

Here’s what you need to know about ozone therapy and its role in holistic dental care.

Gum Disease Treatment

Do your gums bleed when you floss? If so, you may be experiencing gum disease and not even know it. The good news is that our holistic dentists can use ozone therapy to help treat gingivitis and periodontitis. By applying ozone gas or ozonated water to the gums, they’re able to reduce both the bacterial load and inflammation. It’s a win-win!

Cavity Treatment

Ozone gas has potent antimicrobial properties. When applied to a cavity, ozone can penetrate the porous structure of the decayed tooth and reach areas where bacteria may be present. By eliminating bacteria, ozone therapy helps reduce the microbial load within the cavity, promoting a healthier environment for the tooth.

Ozone dental treatment selectively targets decayed or infected tooth structure, leaving healthy structure intact. This targeted approach helps preserve as much healthy tooth structure as possible, minimizing the need for extensive drilling and removal of healthy tissue. By preserving healthy tooth structure, ozone treatment can contribute to more conservative and minimally invasive dental treatments.

Accelerated Wound Healing

Ozone dental therapy has been utilized to enhance the healing of oral wounds, such as post-surgical incisions or extraction sites. Ozone gas or ozonated water can be applied topically to the wound, stimulating blood flow, reducing inflammation, and facilitating tissue regeneration.
