Dental ozone is used for both children and adults. It is often helpful in treating: Gum Disease– the healing process can be helped by applying ozonated water and/or ozone gas to the gum line and surrounding tissues Root canal therapy– ozone can be used for several purposes, including sterilizing the canal system, stimulating faster healing, and killing bacteria. Because it is a gas, ozone can reach tiny areas in the tooth that could not otherwise be treated, resulting in a more sterile system Decay– ozone will kill bacteria on contact, and it can get into hard-to-reach areas below the gum line and into the grooves of teeth Sensitivity– flooding a sensitive dental area with ozone gas can harden the structure, resulting in significantly less sensitivity Promote healing– after a dental extraction or a procedure where there is trauma to an oral tissue, ozonated gas can be applied to the area to kill pathogens as well as initiate a healing response.
