What is ozone? Brought to you by DR. SARAH ROBERTS, CRABAPPLE DENTAL Ozone gas was discovered in the mid-nineteenth century as a dynamic molecule consisting of three atoms of oxygen. In its primary function, ozone protects us on earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation and toxins in the atmosphere. Medical researchers have been intrigued by ozone and have been studying ozone to understand its therapeutic effects and medical benefits. How is ozone made in the dental office? Medical-grade oxygen is used to make ozone from our Ozonator machine and then administered to patients via irrigation in the dental setting. Why ozone? Ozone destroys bacteria, viruses, protozoa, fungi, and yeast via oxidation. Ozone kills these organisms without using harsh chemicals while at the same time oxygenating the tissue and activating the body’s healing systems. How can Ozone be used in dentistry? One way that Ozone is being implemented is in cavity protection and treatment. Cavities result from a bacteria releasing acid which dissolve tooth structure. Ozone not only kills bacteria, but neutralizes the acid that the bacteria thrive in.

The new, balanced environment which is created allows minerals to flow back into the tooth, hardening and reversing the effects of decay. Furthermore, Ozone water and gas are used during all surgical procedures to dramatically increase healing and reduce post-operative complications. Remember that ozone cannot regrow tooth structure once it has been lost! Additionally, to improve the chances of staying cavity-free, we can also protect challenging grooves of the teeth with sealants. To speed up mineralization, we also recommend the use of calcium-rich MI paste Plus or products containing Novamin. The combination of sealants, calcium-rich paste plus Ozone to repair cavities will ensure a beautiful healthy smile for years to come!
