Critical Facts about Ozone/Oxygen Therapy in Dentistry

Infection control is a complex issue in dentistry today, as the oral cavity is home to a variety of microorganisms that normally coexist in harmony with the human body. However, certain conditions can cause pathogenic micro-organisms to become dominant, leading to infection. These micro-organisms live in a biofilm that supports a mixed-type infection, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. The challenge is that each type of micro-organism requires a different drug to eliminate it. Fortunately, Oxygen/Ozone Therapy offers a solution that can treat and eliminate infection while supporting healthy tissue without toxic side effects.

Oxygen/Ozone Therapy works by creating a "transient oxidative burst" when introduced into the living system. This reaction overwhelms the infected micro-organisms, causing them to die. The therapy disinfects the treated area safely and effectively, while also triggering natural biochemical and physiological reactions that enhance blood flow, immune response, and healing.

Oxygen/Ozone Therapy can enhance the outcome of all aspects of dentistry when applied properly. For example, it can arrest periodontal disease without the use of pharmaceutical drugs and associated side effects. It can also reduce tooth sensitivity.

Scientific literature supports the effectiveness and safety of Oxygen/Ozone Therapy, which was first introduced in dentistry by Swiss Dentist F.A. Fisch in the early 1900s. The International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology has reviewed and accepted Oxygen/Ozone Therapy in dentistry as scientifically valid.

It is impossible to be allergic to Oxygen/Ozone, as ozone is an energized form of oxygen that is naturally formed by the sun and lightning storms. Ozone is essential for life on our planet, as it filters out harmful ultraviolet rays and creates a beautiful blue color in the sky.
