Pursuing effective and non-invasive treatment methods in holistic dental care has led to a growing interest in ozone therapy. At Dental Wellness, this innovative approach has proven to be a remarkable solution for addressing dental decay, gum disease, and infections without resorting to invasive or destructive treatments.

Ozone, a naturally occurring gas composed of three oxygen atoms (O3), is a powerful oxidant with an astonishing disinfecting effect. Ozone, which occurs in small amounts in the atmosphere, protects living organisms from harmful ultraviolet rays. Its unique properties make it an excellent alternative to traditional antiseptics and disinfectants.

Ozone is effective against pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi because it targets their cellular components, including carbohydrates, proteins, RNA, and DNA. These pathogens are typically surrounded by a cell wall or cytoplasmic membrane, which ozone can penetrate and disrupt, destroying the pathogenic organism.

One ozone molecule equals 3,000 and 10,000 chlorine molecules, killing pathogenic organisms an astounding 3,500 times faster. Studies have revealed that ozone takes only 10 seconds to eliminate 99% of bacteria, fungi, and viruses, making it an exceptionally effective disinfectant.

Application of Ozone at Dental Wellness
At Dental Wellness, ozonated oils, liquids, and pure ozone gas are applied in a controlled environment to address tooth decay, gum disease, and infections with bacterial, viral, or fungal loads. This innovative approach targets the root cause of these dental issues, enhances the body’s immune system, and aids in accelerated healing.

One of the key advantages of ozone therapy is its non-destructive nature. It focuses on disinfecting and sterilising the affected area, aiming to halt the progression of early-stage decay or periodontal disease.
Therefore, by harnessing the power of ozone, we at Dental Wellness can effectively treat dental decay and gum disease without causing unnecessary damage to healthy tooth structures or gum tissue.

Holistic Approach to Tooth Extraction
In cases where tooth extraction is necessary, Dental Wellness takes a holistic approach to ensure optimal healing and future treatment options.
When a tooth needs to be removed, we take the surgical removal very seriously. We remove not only the tooth but also the infected periodontal ligament and any remaining infection. Then, we often use ozone and saline infused with homotoxicology Traumeel S. Irrigation of extraction sockets and other surgical sites boosts healing and stimulates repair. Traumeel S has a combination of homeopathic remedies that have been scientifically shown to boost healing and accelerate repair and recovery.

Furthermore, Dental Wellness employs a cutting-edge technique called platelet-rich fibrin (PRF). During the extraction procedure, a small amount of the patient’s blood is drawn and spun in a centrifuge, separating the fibrin, which contains growth factors and stem cells. This concentrated healing component is placed into the extraction socket, promoting rapid and efficient healing, reducing discomfort, and facilitating quick bone formation.

Conclusion
Ozone therapy offers numerous benefits for both patients and dental professionals. By leveraging the potent disinfecting power of ozone, we can effectively combat dental infections and prevent the spread of bacteria to other parts of the body. This proactive approach addresses oral health issues and contributes to overall systemic well-being by reducing whole-body inflammation.

We have introduced an Ozone tumbler for our patients to purchase. A convenient small ozone generator creates pure ozone water for irrigation between your teeth every day, or to gargle when you have a sore throat. Very useful also to spray a fine mist onto your face and hands keeping them clean and healthy without the use of chemical disinfectants.
