Ozone - One of the greatest advances in Dentistry today.
Ozone is one of the greatest advances in dentistry today. Ozone is formed when high energy
electricity comes in contact with normal oxygen. It converts it to a very unstable, highly reactive form of
Oxygen. When the cell walls of bacteria, fungi or the structure of viruses are exposed to this reactive form
of oxygen, it breaks apart their molecular structure destroying them within seconds. It also breaks apart the
components that make up plaque.
Without the toxic products from these organisms, the body is better
able to heal itself. Studies have shown the complete reversal of decay without having to do fillings. Gum
disease begins to heal and even fever blisters or cold sores heal faster, and in over 25% of the cases of cold
sores that normally reoccur, they never come back.
Bacteria that cause cavities are so small that a million of them fit on the head of a pin. When five or six of
these bacteria eat a hole through the side of a tooth, millions can follow them, yet we as dentists can not see
the holes until a substantial amount of tooth structure has been destroyed. Applying ozone to the teeth, either
individually or in an entire arch using a custom fit tray, can kill the bacteria in these microscopic holes. The
ozone then stimulates the cells within the tooth to begin repairing themselves. Doing this at regular checkups
has the potential to literally stop cavities in their tracks. In our office we charge $280 for each tray and that includes
two ozone treatments. After that, we can use the trays after each checkup for only $30. If this works as the research
seems to indicate, it is one of the least expensive ways to prevent dental disease and to avoid shots and drilling.
There are other things that can be done to help keep decay in check by helping to remineralize the saliva and the teeth. Check out our
other recommendations for stopping decay and helping to rebuild the teeth.
Pro-Biotics
Once the bacteria have been killed by the ozone, you have the option of letting the mouth recolonize as it wants or you can
control what happens with the use of pro-biotics. In our office we have a kit that starts you out with a large dose of good bacteria that
do not cause cavities or gum disease in a lozenge form. You use one a day for ten days and then switch to a lower dose lozenge for 30 days twice
a day. There are anecdotal reports that this works. I do not have extensive research to support the practice, but
it does make sense so we provide it as an option. The kit costs about $30.
Dr. Edward Lynch has written a number of articles as well as a book regarding the effects of ozone in dentistry
and medicine. If you would like to read a chapter on Ozone and Dentistry
click here.
This video shows how we make trays that can be used at each check up to help prevent decay and gum disease.
This is a video that shows how the ozone is applied using an ozone tray.
Dr. Julian Holmes posted a very good explanation of the use of Ozone and Cavities together with a large number of
references for those inclined to pursue them.
