If you develop an oral infection, Dr. Julia Gorelik may recommend ozone therapy to relieve your discomfort, prevent infection from spreading and encourage your body to heal. This natural and noninvasive treatment is designed to improve your health without the use of antibiotics, antimicrobial rinses or pharmaceutical drugs so that you can enjoy better oral and overall health.

What is ozone therapy?

Ozone (O3) is a powerful, naturally occurring gas that helps us in many everyday ways. Within the healthcare community, ozone works to treat a variety of diseases, infections and sensitivity, and speeds up the healing process after your procedure is completed. It involves the use of medical-grade ozone to boost your body’s natural healing response. Ozone therapy is safe, minimally invasive, and has few or no side effects.

What conditions can benefit from ozone therapy?

Ozone can treat a wide range of conditions and aid in a number of dental treatments, including:

  • Bone infections
  • Canker and cold sores
  • Dental cleanings
  • Dental fillings
  • Dental implant placement
  • Gum disease
  • Post-operative pain management
  • Tooth extractions
  • Tooth infection and decay
  • Tooth sensitivity

Ozone is also considered as part of health and safety precautions in treatment planning. Because ozone does not contradict other medications, it eliminates the risk of cross-reactivity and will not cause any allergic reactions.

How does ozone therapy work?

When you receive an ozone treatment, our dentist can provide you with ozone in several different ways, such as ozonated water or ozonated gas. Ozone will work to remove acid; kill harmful bacteria, viruses and parasites; and neutralize acidic waste. It will also work to break down plaque.

What are the benefits of ozone therapy?

There are many benefits to ozone therapy, including:

  • A quick, comfortable and safe treatment
  • Minimal invasion, with no recovery time needed following treatment
  • Efficient fighting of decay-causing bacteria
  • Support for gum health and healing
  • An all-natural solution, with no toxic or unhealthy side effects
  • Improved blood circulation and oxygen delivery in the treated area
  • Enhanced metabolism
  • Activated immune system
  • A feeling of overall wellness
