Ozone Therapy

Ozone is a naturally occurring element in our environment that exists in a gaseous form. We can also make it in-office using pure oxygen and an ozone generator. Ozone is 3 oxygen molecules bound together by a double bond and a single bond. Dr. Amore uses ozone every single day and for almost every single procedure. O3 when utilized at the proper concentration can kill bacteria, parasites, fungi, and viruses but it does not harm human tissue cells due to our protective antioxidant layer.
We use ozone directly onto teeth infusing it into dental tubules to kill off bacteria when treating cavities, during oral surgery procedures, sinus treatments, in the gum tissue and more. We ozonate our water fresh every day and have ozone-infused oils that can be used in the mouth as well.

Ozone therapy works by allowing pure oxygen and ozone to flood the site, killing any harmful microbes, while leaving healthy cells untouched. This technique is just as, if not more, effective than traditional antibiotics. In fact, when oxygen or ozone therapy is used instead of traditional antibiotics, patients can expect the following benefits:

• Quicker recovery time: Ozone therapy balances and restores the immune system, leading to fewer complications for patients.

• No possibility of allergic reaction: Because ozone and oxygen are all natural, no allergic reactions to ozone therapy will ever take place.

• No pharmacy visits down the road: Since ozone therapy eliminates the need for antibiotics, everything is handled in one visit to our office.

• Sensitivity can be lessened in the surrounding area: Ozone therapy has a remineralization effect for enamel and dentin. It has even been shown to reverse early cavities.

Rather than adding medicines and chemicals to your body, ozone therapy simply adds something pure, something completely natural, and uses it to fight off potentially deadly infections just as effectively as many antibiotic pharmaceuticals.

We’re proud to offer this service to our patients, taking advantage of the incredible strides made in modern dentistry. If you have any questions about the use of ozone therapy and would like to learn more, call us today to schedule an appointment.
