Protect your oral health with ozone dental treatment in Irvine CA
Dr. David Son is a biological dentist dedicated to using the safest treatments and materials for every patient he sees. Dr. Son offers Ozone dental treatment for patients in Irvine, CA, as one facet of his holistic dentistry practice. Ozone is a safe, effective alternative to antibiotic medications and fluoride treatments during preventative and restorative procedures.
A powerful oxidant
Ozone, also known as trioxygen, is a more reactive form of oxygen that’s widely used as an oxidizing agent. It is a powerful disinfectant that kills microbes on contact by disrupting their cell membrane.
When mixed with water, dentists can use an ozone rinse to treat your mouth during various procedures. The Ozone can penetrate up to 5 mm into your tooth enamel and oxidize pathogenic bacteria. Because your body’s cells have antioxidants to protect them from Ozone, it’s perfectly harmless to your teeth and gums. In fact, the extra oxygen offers many benefits to your oral health.
Benefits of Ozone in biological dentistry
Ozone gas is beneficial for teeth in a variety of ways. It can stimulate your immune cell production, promote wound healing, and reduce inflammation in your mouth. It also kills harmful bacteria without damaging your body’s cells. Dr. Son may use Ozone therapy for:
- preventative care – Dr. Son and his team use ozone during routine dental cleanings to kill harmful bacteria and raise the pH in your mouth to promote tooth remineralization, which can halt tooth decay and reverse dental caries.
- teeth whitening – Ozone can work in conjunction with in-office whitening treatments to remove superficial stains on your tooth enamel.
- Periodontal therapy – Ozone can improve the effectiveness of scaling and root planing when treating gum disease. It can also help your gums heal and reattach to your teeth.
Dr. Son and his team focus beyond your teeth and consider your overall wellbeing. We plan each of our procedures to restore your smile while considering how it will affect your overall health.
