Ozone is not typically a substance that people associate with their dentist, or even with their health. This is more a matter of pollution, isn’t it? Actually, ozone is a naturally occurring substance with a great many benefits to the environment and to our health. In fact, this tri-atomic particle of oxygen, in the hands of your skilled biological dentist, can do wonders.
In the clinical setting ozone is created in a machine that charges pure, medical grade oxygen. This substance may be used in gas or liquid form depending on the result we wish to achieve. The purpose of ozone is to bind to “bad” particles. Ozone therapy is used in the treatment of periodontal disease, as well as sterilizing the tooth after decay is removed, or after an extraction. In the air, ozone will bind to environmental pollutants in order to eliminate them, which is why it is used to measure pollution. In the body, ozone will do the same thing, bind to those molecules that are harmful to the body.
