Ozone Therapy

What is Ozone Therapy?

Ozone therapy has been widely used for decades across several medical professions. Oxygen carries the chemical symbol O2 because of the two oxygen molecules it contains. Ozone, on the other hand, is known as O3. The science can be a little confusing, but in essence, the extra oxygen molecule unlocks many powerful properties that can kill viruses, fungi, and bacteria without damaging surrounding tissue.

How Does Ozone Therapy Work?

Ozone has been shown to eliminate dangerous microorganisms in the mouth and prevent infections from surfacing or reoccurring. The health benefits of ozone are especially prevalent on the teeth as it boosts recalcification, leaving your teeth stronger and more protected against decay.  

Thanks to ozone's antiseptic properties, it also serves as an excellent disinfectant to sterilize teeth and gums before a wide range of procedures. In some cases, ozone can be used to decrease sensitivity caused by gum infections, reducing pain and discomfort.  

What Are the Benefits of Ozone Therapy?

Ozone has been used as a medical disinfectant because of its inactivation qualities on bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Some of the many advantages of ozone therapy include:  

• Eliminates bacteria, fungi, and viruses from the mouth
• Countless studies have proven that it’s safe and effective
