Ozone (O₃) is a powerful oxidizer that kills bacteria, viruses, and fungi. In dentistry, ozone therapy is used to disinfect cavities, root canals, extraction sites, and cavitations—supporting faster, cleaner healing.
How It Works
Ozone gas or ozonated water is applied to the treatment site. It penetrates bacteria and breaks down their cell walls. Unlike traditional disinfectants, ozone leaves no harmful residue and supports the body's natural healing response.
Common Uses
We use ozone for cavity disinfection before fillings, in root canal therapy, after extractions, and in cavitation surgery. It's a key tool in biological dentistry for reducing infection without adding chemicals to your system.
Safe and Effective
When used correctly by trained practitioners, ozone therapy is safe and well tolerated. At America Dental, we integrate it into our biological approach for optimal outcomes.
