Ozone Therapy

At Wayne Syn, DDS, we are committed to utilizing the most advanced and holistic treatments available to promote your oral and overall health. Ozone therapy is a revolutionary, minimally invasive, and highly effective treatment that leverages the natural healing properties of ozone to address a wide range of dental issues. Ozone is a supercharged form of oxygen that has powerful antimicrobial and regenerative properties, making it an excellent tool for modern dentistry.

What is Ozone Therapy?

Ozone therapy involves the precise application of ozone gas or ozonated water to the affected areas of the mouth. The beauty of ozone lies in its ability to selectively target and neutralize harmful bacteria, viruses, and fungi, while leaving healthy cells unharmed. When applied to a site of infection or decay, the ozone molecule breaks down, creating a potent antibacterial and healing environment. This process can help to sterilize the area, reduce inflammation, and stimulate the body's natural healing response.

Applications in Dentistry

Ozone therapy is a versatile treatment with a variety of applications in our practice:

• Cavity Treatment: Ozone can be used to treat early-stage tooth decay. By applying ozone gas to the affected tooth, we can effectively kill the bacteria causing the decay, often without the need for a drill or traditional filling. This allows for a more conservative and pain-free approach to cavity management.
• Periodontal Disease: For patients with gum disease (gingivitis or periodontitis), ozonated water can be used to irrigate the gum pockets. This helps to sterilize the area, reduce inflammation, and kill the bacteria responsible for gum infections, promoting healthier gums and preventing further bone loss.
• Disinfection: Ozone is an excellent sterilizing agent. We use ozonated water to disinfect surgical sites, root canals, and areas after extractions, ensuring a clean environment that promotes faster healing and reduces the risk of post-operative complications.
• Sensitivity Relief: For patients experiencing tooth sensitivity, ozone therapy can be applied to the sensitive area to desensitize it and provide long-lasting relief.

Benefits of Ozone Therapy

Choosing ozone therapy at our practice comes with numerous benefits:

• Minimally Invasive: Many treatments can be performed without needles, drills, or incisions, making for a much more comfortable experience.
• Safe and Natural: Ozone is a natural substance that leaves no toxic byproducts, as it converts back into oxygen after use.
• Reduces Pain and Discomfort: The anti-inflammatory and numbing properties of ozone can significantly reduce pain during and after procedures.
• Promotes Healing: Ozone stimulates blood flow and the body’s natural healing processes, leading to faster recovery times.
