How Ozone Promotes Speedy Dental Recoveries

Because ozone is so effective in destroying vast amounts of bacteria and germs so quickly, one may look forward to a quick recovery from an ozone-assisted therapy or rehabilitation. The bacteria are virtually nonexistent during treatment, and for a while thereafter. They therefore cannot multiply and spread as fast as they could originally. Also, because these bacteria are not present, the body’s natural immune system is given its chance to shine and “focus” on healing the battle wounds instead of constantly fighting the losing battle.

Benefits of Using Ozone in Holistic Dentistry

Last fall, I was told that using ozone in my dentistry would bring major changes to my practice; more convenience, less occupied office space, and a one-solution-works-for-all ease of use really has upped our efficiency and, yes, quality, too, of dentistry. For one, you may look forward to a quicker visit. Ozone, in the gas form, can reach into the tiniest cracks and crannies in your tooth, and cleanliness is guaranteed during your root canal or gum disease treatment.

Also, this high sterilization, unlike drugs, medications, or other harmful ways of destroying bad bacteria in your mouth (AND the good bacteria, for that matter), is completely side-effect-free, causes no allergic reactions, and works at the same level of powerful decontamination for every single person.

Ozone is particularly wonderful in that it maintains aesthetic qualities; it does not damage any tooth surfaces, other hard tissues, or soft tissues. Past methods of removing an infected area of tooth included actually removing the bacteria-laden tooth structure itself with lasers, drills, air abrasion, etc., to remove the bacteria! Practicing holistic dentistry and restoring teeth with minimal invasion of the natural structure, ozone works great for us. It almost “washes out” the infection with no deterioration, damage, or discomfort.

Ozone and Periodontal Disease

I just went over how ozone is beneficial to the root canal therapy procedure, but it definitely doesn’t stop there. Ozone’s uses for treating periodontal disease (a.k.a. gum disease) are numerous as well.

Periodontal disease can develop as a result of a number of causes, one of them most commonly being a simple lack of thorough and committed brushing and flossing of teeth. Other causes, such as tooth damage, injury, bad habits (smoking, tobacco, junk food, etc.), or another present disease. Symptoms of periodontal disease and gum recession might even be an allergic reaction to a certain food, substance, or medication; but that is something that should be looked into by your physician. The symptoms of gum disease might range from mere gum soreness or inflammation to severe deterioration of hard and soft tissues in and around the mouth. If left untreated, it can lead to tooth loss.

There are a few options for treatment, depending on the severity of the case: a deep-cleaning or surgery. Both require absolute sterility to be successful and to heal properly, and, of course, this is where ozone is again put to work. Ozone attacks and eliminates the bacteria and infectious organisms, providing successful treatment and a healthy environment for quick healing. Ozone is safe for the whole body and leaves no side effects or allergic reactions like medications or drugs do.

Ozone and Root Canals

I wrote not too long ago about the uses of ozone in root canal therapy. After the cavity has progressed too far and affects the tooth’s root, nerves (that’s the “ouch” factor), and sensitive life-giving anatomy, a root canal is required to clean out and seal off the damage. The highest level of sterilization is crucial to a successful root canal, as you are permanently sealing off the tooth and preserving its strength for the rest of your life.

Ozone makes the sterilization job easy… using ozone gas or ozonated water, we can continuously “wash off” the tooth being operated on in a safe, drug-less, bacteria/germ-free environment. Ozone even speeds up the process, providing us with health benefits enough to quicken healing and recovery. Less pain is experienced, and it will not cause any side effects.

But, still, brush and floss your teeth consistently so you can avoid cavities and the whole root canal scenario in the first place…

Cavities, Acid, and Ozone

I’ve explained how we use ozone in our dentistry in previous posts. After all this talk of nasty acid-making bacteria wreaking havoc on teeth, it becomes essential — for my ozone-using practice — to bring the greatness of O3 into the picture!

Ozone eliminates bacteria, and is, therefore, the perfect solution to cleaning an infected tooth. What’s even better, is that ozone treatment will just come in the form of ozonated water or an ozone gas. Continual application of ozone to the surgical site promotes sterility, while also speeding up the process and recovery. Ozone therapy does not cause any negative side effects or allergic reactions in patients. It simply allows the natural immune system to fight off infection.

Using ozone for cavity treatment makes the filling or restoring process much easier and smoother. Guaranteeing sterility to avoid worse problems later is crucial during any serious dental work, and ozone does the job well.

Using Ozone in Root Canal Therapy

When a cavity becomes too deep and is a threat to the important life-giving pulp and living tissues for your tooth, a root canal is required. A drill is sent down the infected path of the tooth to make room for some filling. Then the infection is cleansed, blocked off, and repaired to preserve the health of the tooth.

During root canal procedures, it is extremely important to rid the whole area of the infectious germs, and to prevent other bacteria and germs from invading while the treatment is in process. Ozone is a great assistance here, as it is an easy and harmless way to aid the success of the therapy.

Periodontal Treatments with Ozone & Dental Lasers

Ozone and dental lasers are very useful for treating periodontal ailments in our office. Gingivitis, most commonly known as gum disease, is most often caused by improper oral hygiene. Gingivitis symptoms are usually red, swollen, or easily bleeding gums. If left untreated, gingivitis will lead to periodontitis, where the infection spreads to the root of the tooth, under the gumline, and begins to eat away everything that holds your tooth in place. This often leads to a painful process of tooth loss.

The combination of ozone and a dental laser in treating gum disease is phenomenal. The ozone continuously keeps the area sterile, while the dental laser precisely targets the infected area with minimal pain or damage to the surrounding tissues. Healing is accelerated, and health is restored.

Ozone Applications in Dentistry

Ozone, a crucial and important element in protecting and purifying the earth, is typically considered unhealthful, even poisonous, to the human body. This is partly true. Ozone will have a “dry-clean” effect on our lungs when inhaled and it does cause respiratory problems when its presence is more concentrated, seasonally or otherwise.

However, ozone is the second most second sterile substance in the world, and many practical uses have taken advantage of this fact. The thought of being treated somehow with ozone probably seems scary, but ozone is an amazing asset to the dental industry. A small machine that we have makes a small change on the molecular level of the ozone, creating a gas that is completely sterile – even magnetizing itself to and destroying bacteria and germs – but is 100% safe for the human body. It is hypoallergenic and allows the body’s natural immune system to take over and recover from the infection or diseased area. No more chemicals, no more high-maintenance processes of keeping your mouth’s “construction area” clean, and no more worries!

Using Oxygen & Ozone in Dentistry

That idea might sound quite odd and surprising, yes? This is brand-new in my practice. Read this for crucial background information:

http://www.toxinfreesmile.com/images/Ozone-Integrating%20Oxygen%20Ozone%20Thearpy%20into%20Your%20Practice.pdf

The system is basically a small, easy-to-operate machine with several tubes, bottles, and buttons all over (I ordered and received one already), and an oxygen tank. In a nutshell, it works by locally and rapidly eliminating all “bad” bacteria to the place treatment is applied, therefore providing a completely sterile environment to work in. There are no adverse reactions or side effects to worry about. Also, when used internally, it also “magnetically” leeches onto bacteria and destroys it, but does nothing to the “good” cells and bugs in your body. This allows your immune system to fully recover and restore the infection quickly and effectively, and — the best part — completely naturally!

I met the two lead investigators of a national study on the use of oxygen & ozone in dentistry (at the very bottom of the pages in the link), Dr. Mollica and Dr. Harris, at the IAOMT conference last month. They were extremely informative and generous in giving my son and daughter-in-law demonstrations (they were sick with colds that weekend, and, by inhaling the vapor, were healed within a few days! No, oxygen/ozone is not limited to dentistry only!). In a few weeks, I will be attending a class of theirs in New Jersey, where they’ll be teaching dentists how to incorporate the practice into their offices and giving out all kinds of information on its uses.

More on this topic will be written; they told me it is going to change my dentistry like nothing else, and for the better.

Changes Are Coming!

This last weekend, I attended the IAOMT Silver Jubilee Annual Meeting seminars in Las Vegas, NV. I was overwhelmed with the amazing discoveries made lately about mercury-safe dentistry, and some pretty nifty gadgets were introduced. I was like a child in a giant toy store. There was so much to see and learn, and I was able to make some great connections that are going to bring even healthier, more efficient changes into my office. Keep your eyes peeled!
