Ozone Treatment
Dr. Joseph S. Kim and his team are excited to provide dental ozone therapy for patients seeking holistic dentistry treatments that support natural healing and is minimally invasive. We are committed to helping you enjoy optimal health and wellness using safe alternatives to reduce infection that meet our high standards for biological dentistry.
Ozone is useful when introduced into many dental situations. It is safe and effective, and produces no harmful side effects. Procedures where it may be useful include:
- Tooth extractions
- Dental Implants
- Dental Infections
- Periodontal treatments
Ozone is composed of three molecules of oxygen coupled together. It is a naturally occurring substance produced by sunlight and in plasma cells. It is a naturally occurring substance in the human immune system and leaves behind no toxic by-products. One molecule of O3 has more oxidizing power than 3000 molecules of chlorine and kills pathogens 3500x faster than chlorine with no toxic by products. It kills bacteria, viruses, is fungicidal, and promotes wound healing. It is effective in treating vascular and degenerative diseases. It also increases tissue oxygenation and signals healing pathways in the body.
Ozone integrates well into holistic guidelines. When added to dental procedures in order to assist in the healing process, the body can readily accept it without complications. We seek to provide elements that will contribute to the total wellbeing of a patient, rather than to just provide a quick-fix. In this way and others, we are more than alert to the overall impacts from treatment.
