How can it\nbenefit your next visit to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vollersmiles.com\/advanced-dental-technology.html\">dentist\nin Kittanning?<\/a> Keep reading to learn the benefits today!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Ozone Therapy in Dentistry?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ozone therapy is a treatment method designed to remove\nbacteria present in the mouth. Ozone is a natural-occurring agent that\u2019s\ncapable of killing a wide variety of infections, including bacterial and fungal\ninfections as well as viruses and parasites. While ozone is an ideal treatment\nmethod for a number of healthcare applications, it\u2019s particularly ideal for\ndentistry because of the many treatments that revolve around treating and\nremoving infections that appear in the mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result of ozone\u2019s success, holistic dentists around the\ncountry have taken advantage of this treatment method in order to provide\npatients an alternative to traditional methods of dental care. It gives them\nthe peace of mind that they\u2019re doing everything they can to receive the most\nnatural dentistry possible, which has become an increasing concern with the risks\nassociated with certain dental treatments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Does Ozone Therapy Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ozone consists of three oxygen molecules, which is different\nfrom the normal oxygen we breathe on a regular basis, which contains two oxygen\nmolecules. When ozone enters the body, it interacts with cell membranes and\nforms lipoperoxides. This free radical improves many aspects of your biology, many\nof which directly benefit your oral health as you receive treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, ozone therapy can help:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Decrease inflammation<\/li><li>Speed up healing<\/li><li>Treat bacterial infections<\/li><li>Strengthen teeth and gums<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Treatments Can It Benefit?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When used in the proper dosage, ozone therapy is completely\nsafe to use in dentistry. Its use is paired with many dental treatments,\nincluding:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Periodontal (gum) therapy<\/li><li>Dental fillings<\/li><li>Herpes virus sore treatment<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In the case of periodontal disease, pockets form as a result\nof the gums pulling away from teeth. Naturally, this causes increased\nsensitivity to teeth and makes it easier for bacteria and plaque to collect\ninside these gum pockets. With ozone therapy, dentists can kill the bacteria\ninside these pockets more effectively and therefore reduce the symptoms\nassociated with gum disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The same goes for teeth that require a dental filling. Before\na filling is placed, dentists need to remove any and all infected tissue to\nprevent future infections of neighboring teeth. Ozone therapy acts a thorough solution\nfor removing all bacteria before the filling is molded into place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With so many uses, there\u2019s no reason not to experience the difference\nozone therapy has to offer.
