Dental ozone in Turlock is revolutionizing prevention and restoration
As a biological dental practice, we provide treatments that take into account their overall impact on the body. When patients require treatment, we always aim to provide the most conservative, natural treatment that integrates well into the patient’s body. Ozone therapy is one such treatment.
You’ve probably heard the term Ozone, but only when associated with the earth’s atmosphere. However, it has been used for decades in a variety of ways, including food preservation and water treatment.
Ozone is a highly reactive tri-atomic from of oxygen Medical ozone is made by passing pure oxygen through a discharge generator. Its powerful oxidizing potential makes it great for dental applications.
How ozone is used in dental therapy
Ozone therapy can be in gas or liquid form. It can be added to water. Medical ozone in gas from is administered with either a device that treats one tooth at a time or a custom tray to treat multiple teeth. Whether in gas or liquid form, the ozone targets bad cells, inhibiting their ability to destroy dental tissue. Good cells are left alone and remain preserved. Ozone is negatively charged and naturally looks to neutralize, so it is attracted to things with a positive charge such as harmful bacteria, viruses, or even cancer cells. The removal of these undesirable or “bad” cells makes the mouth healthier.
It can be used for a variety of dental conditions including:
- Periodontal pockets susceptible to gum disease
- Treatment of decay and cavities
- Root canal therapy
- Sensitive teeth
- Bone infections
Teeth are complex structures, and any time you can minimize destruction to the teeth during dental procedures, it can preserve the tooth structure and promote health. If you are in Turlock and would like more information on dental ozone therapy, call our team at (209) 666-8867 today.
