Ozone therapy is a gentle, natural treatment that uses a form of oxygen to help eliminate harmful bacteria, viruses, and fungi in the mouth. Dr. Ramsay incorporates ozone therapy as part of her functional and holistic approach to dentistry, which focuses on supporting your body's natural healing abilities while preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible.
Understanding Ozone Therapy
Ozone is made of three oxygen atoms and can be applied as a gas, mixed into water, or infused into oil. Because it's minimally invasive and doesn't rely on harsh chemicals, it can be a helpful addition to many treatments, including:
- Treating early-stage tooth decay, which may help avoid or reduce the need for drilling.
- Supporting gum health by targeting bacteria below the gumline during periodontal care.
- Disinfecting root canals and other hard-to-reach areas of the tooth.
- Promoting faster, more comfortable healing after extractions or oral surgery.
- Reducing tooth sensitivity by strengthening and protecting exposed areas.
- Soothing canker sores and other irritated soft tissues in the mouth.
