Ozone Treatment for Gum Disease
According to CDC reports, 85 % of adults have gum disease during their lifetime. Gum disease is a common oral problem worldwide, and the risk of developing it increases with age. It often goes untreated and damages teeth. Severe gum Disease can lead to poor teeth, tooth loss, and bone issues.
Ozone is a form of supercharged oxygen naturally occurring in the Earth’s atmosphere and is often created by lightning or ultraviolet energy. In Alpha Plus Dental Center, we use an ozone generator that can stimulate the same conditions that lightning makes and produces ozone that helps our patients. Ozone treatment for gum disease is an incredibly effective and non-invasive procedure that helps battle against oral infections by using medically graded oxygen. Ozone is a natural oxidant created when energy is forced upon a typical 02 molecule, causing it to split into two 01 molecules (also known as triatomic oxygen and trioxygen). It kills the pathogens that want to live inside your mouth and do tremendous damage very quickly. In the case of some gum diseases, ozone or ozonated water are used to remove bacteria and infection without resorting to antibiotics or toxic chemicals and can be used for any infection type or size.
Ozone is widely used in dentistry for treating and prophylaxis of various diseases, including periodontology, dental and oral pathology, surgery, prosthodontics, restorative dentistry, orthodontics, and orthopedics. Ozone therapy has dramatic success and safety. There is no discomfort during the procedure.
Ozone Treatment for Gum Disease Has Many Benefits:
- Eliminating pathogens from your mouth.
- Encouraging the body to restore correct oxygen metabolism.
- Circulation increasing in the gums.
- Activating and modulating the immune system to fight back.
- Encouraging the body to use its antioxidant systems
The use of ozone in modern dentistry, especially for gum disease treatment, has excellent positive effects because it is a powerful disinfectant. Ozone has a unique antimicrobial effect and treats oral abscesses and ulcers; minor tooth decay prevents further gum disease and reduces tooth sensitivity. Ozone treatment is a holistic therapy that increases the body’s healing ability by stimulating circulation and oxygenation and enhancing immune response. Ozone cleans wounds in bones and soft tissues working destructively against bacteria, fungi, and viruses and controls bleeding. According to previous research, ozone treatment is very efficient in antibiotic-resistant strains.
