Ozone Therapy in Dentistry: Natural Healing for a Healthier Smile

What Is Ozone Therapy?

Ozone therapy has been used in holistic medicine for decades, and dentistry is no exception. Ozone is a naturally occurring gas (O₃) with powerful antimicrobial and healing properties. While traditional dentistry often relies on antibiotics, chemical rinses, or drilling, holistic dentistry uses ozone to disinfect, promote healing, and preserve natural tooth structure.

At Amore Dentistry, ozone is a cornerstone of biologic care. It allows us to treat infections naturally, reduce the need for invasive procedures, and support long-term oral and systemic health.

How Ozone Works in Dentistry

Ozone kills bacteria, viruses, and fungi by oxidizing their cell walls—without harming healthy tissue. It also stimulates blood circulation and the immune response, helping tissues heal faster.

Applications in holistic dentistry include:

• Cavity prevention & treatment: Ozone can stop early cavities by killing bacteria and encouraging remineralization.

• Gum disease: Disinfects pockets and promotes gum healing.

• Root canal alternatives/support: Sterilizes canals and reduces reinfection risk.

• Surgical healing: Speeds recovery after extractions and implant placement.

  
  

Benefits of Ozone Therapy

• Non-invasive & painless – no drilling for early lesions.

• Antibiotic-free – reduces reliance on systemic medications.

• Biocompatible – safe, natural, and effective.

• Whole-body friendly – supports immune system and lowers inflammation.

  
  

Holistic Perspective

In holistic dentistry, ozone therapy aligns with the mission: treat root causes, avoid toxins, and support the body’s natural healing. Patients appreciate that ozone works with their biology rather than against it.

In Conclusion, Ozone is a Natural Ally

Ozone therapy is transforming dentistry. By incorporating ozone into daily practice, we prevent cavities, heal gum disease, and improve surgical outcomes—without unnecessary chemicals.

At Amore Dentistry, ozone isn’t an alternative—it’s essential.
