Ozone Therapy in Dentistry in New Albany, OH

A Targeted Approach to Managing Bacteria and Supporting Healing

Infection control is a central part of dentistry. The oral environment contains a complex mix of bacteria, and when imbalance occurs, it can contribute to decay, gum disease, and other concerns.

At Midwest BioHealth, Dr. John W. Johnson utilizes ozone therapy as an adjunctive tool to help manage bacterial load and support tissue healing in a controlled, clinical setting.

What Is Ozone Therapy

Ozone therapy uses a highly energized form of oxygen (O₃) applied in a localized and controlled manner.

In dentistry, it may be used to:

• Reduce bacterial presence in targeted areas

• Support the body’s natural healing response

• Assist in managing infection during certain procedures

It is not a standalone treatment, but part of a broader care strategy.

How Ozone Is Used in Dental Care

Ozone may be incorporated into treatment in several ways, depending on the clinical situation.

This can include:

• Application to areas of decay or early lesions

• Use during periodontal (gum) therapy

• Support during restorative or surgical procedures

• Adjunctive use in managing areas of chronic infection

Each use is case-specific and based on clinical judgment.

Why Ozone Therapy Is Considered

Ozone therapy is valued for its ability to interact with bacteria in a localized environment without relying on systemic medications.

It may help:

• Reduce bacterial load in targeted areas

• Support tissue healing and recovery

• Complement mechanical and restorative treatments

This approach aligns with a more conservative, biologically oriented model of care.
