Oxygen is O2, and Ozone is O3. Ozone is an energized form of oxygen, and a godsend in dentistry. It provides a source of “reactive” extra free molecule of oxygen with its extra electron that kills the bad bacteria, fungus, and viruses in the mouth. It does not burn like peroxide, thus helping the problem site with a big dose of oxygen. That’s very good news!!
All dental infections are acidic and anaerobic, or lacking oxygen. Adding oxygen completely changes the environment, making it much more difficult for infection to exist. Ozone therapy uses the elemental form of oxygen as a powerful cleaner/oxidizer, drastically minimizing the chance of a secondary infection spreading from the mouth into the body.
Ozone therapy has been utilized and extensively studied for many decades altogether. Its effects are proven, consistent and with minimal side effects. Its effects are durable over time and ozone treatment is fully compatible with any treatment.
