What Is Ozone Therapy In Dentistry?
Ozone therapy is an advanced dental treatment that uses ozone gas to help reduce bacteria and support healing. It is a minimally invasive option that may be used in certain situations to improve oral health.
Ozone is a naturally occurring form of oxygen. In dentistry, it is carefully applied to areas of concern to help disinfect and promote a healthier environment in the mouth.
How Ozone Therapy Is Used
Ozone therapy may be recommended for:
- Early cavities
- Gum infections
- Root canal disinfection
- Sensitive teeth
Because ozone has antimicrobial properties, it can help reduce harmful bacteria in targeted areas.
Benefits Of Ozone Therapy
Patients often appreciate ozone therapy because it is gentle and efficient. Some potential benefits include:
- Reduced bacteria in treated areas
- Support for natural healing
- Minimal discomfort
- Less need for more invasive procedures in certain cases
Not every dental concern requires ozone therapy, and it is not a replacement for traditional treatments when those are necessary. Instead, it can be used as an added tool to enhance care.
