Ozone therapy may be administered as a liquid or a gas. Your dentist applies it directly to the area in need of treatment, such as a cavity, a gum pocket, or a tooth with a root canal infection.
Ozone therapy may not replace root canal therapy in all cases, but it helps eliminate residual bacteria, which lowers your risk of root canal treatment failure or reinfection.
Lowering Your Risks for Oral Health Complications
To lower your risks for tooth decay, gum disease, and tooth infections, we recommend:
- Brushing and flossing at least twice daily.
- Visiting us for checkups and teeth cleanings every six months.
- Adopting a diet low in sugar and acidity.
- Talking to the dentist if you suspect nighttime teeth grinding.
- Reporting oral health changes to our dental office as soon as possible
Signs of tooth decay include a spot on the enamel or tooth sensitivity. Signs of a root canal infection include gum swelling and a severe toothache.
It’s important to note that you can have an asymptomatic cavity or emerging infection.
