Ozone Therapy is a new advancement being used by dentists in Nottingham and throughout Europe as well as Canada, Australia and New Zealand. It is waiting for approval by the FDA in America; some dentists in the UK are also using it as well.
The reason ozone therapy works is high concentrations of ozone kill bacteria quickly, and the agent in ozone is almost a thousand times more powerful than other bacteria killing agents like bleach. Clinical studies have suggested ten seconds of ozone therapy kills up to 99 percent of bacteria in a patient’s mouth including viruses and fungi.
Bacteria and decay are found in the teeth with the help of a laser, then a suction cup is used to direct the ozone onto the area it’s needed. The dentist then places an agent onto the clean area that enables the tooth to heal. Afterwards, follow visits are recommended to make sure bacteria don’t reappear.
Some of the benefits of Ozone therapy are: they eliminate the need of a drill and fillings, it eliminates the need for anesthetics, it kills almost 99 percent of bacteria in cavities, it can whiten discolored cavities, and it’s an excellent alternative for nervous and anxious patients.
Although you can find dental practices that are advanced enough to use ozone therapy, you will no doubt be paying for it. It is not outrageously expensive as a long-term preventative measure but the price will rise depending on how many teeth need to be treated. Chances are, it won’t be available through NHS or claimable on other insurance policies. Most people are however, willing to pay the extra money for something that prevents the cycle of cavity decay as good.
If your dentist does not provide ozone therapy, chances are they will know of someone who does or at least give you advise.
