Ozone Therapy

At Ceres Pediatric Dentistry, we are committed to providing safe, innovative, and minimally invasive treatment options for our young patients. One such cutting-edge approach is ozone therapy, a natural and powerful method for promoting oral health and preventing dental issues.

What is Ozone Therapy?

Ozone therapy utilizes ozone (O3), a naturally occurring gas made up of three oxygen atoms, to eliminate harmful bacteria, viruses, and fungi in the oral cavity. This powerful oxidation process not only disinfects but also accelerates healing and reduces inflammation, making it an excellent addition to pediatric dental care.

Why Choose Ozone Therapy for Your Child?

Children’s oral health is particularly vulnerable to bacterial infections, cavities, and gum diseases. Ozone therapy offers a gentle, pain-free, and non-invasive alternative to traditional treatments, helping to:

• Prevent cavities by targeting and neutralizing decay-causing bacteria.
• Support gum health by reducing inflammation and treating early-stage periodontal disease.
• Enhance healing of oral wounds, ulcers, and post-procedure recovery.
• Minimize the need for drilling in certain restorative procedures.
• Reduce sensitivity in young patients experiencing tooth discomfort.

How Ozone Therapy Works in Pediatric Dentistry

Ozone therapy can be applied in various forms, including gas, water, or oil, depending on the treatment needs. The process is completely painless and requires no injections or numbing agents, making it an ideal option for children who may feel anxious about dental procedures.

Ozone Applications in Pediatric Dental Care

Ozone therapy is a versatile tool used to enhance several dental treatments, including:

• Cavity Prevention and Treatment – Ozone gas can be applied directly to early-stage cavities to eliminate bacteria, halting decay progression and potentially avoiding the need for a filling.
• Gum Disease Management – Ozone-infused water is used to irrigate the gums, eliminating harmful bacteria and reducing inflammation.
• Root Canal Therapy – Ozone gas penetrates deep into the tooth’s structure, thoroughly disinfecting areas that traditional methods may miss.
• Treatment of Oral Lesions and Canker Sores – Ozone speeds up healing, reducing discomfort and promoting tissue regeneration.
• Sterilization of Dental Surfaces and Instruments – Ozone ensures a cleaner, bacteria-free environment for all dental procedures.

Ozone Therapy At Ceres Pediatric Dentistry

Ceres Pediatric Dentistry is proud to offer ozone therapy, an innovative and natural treatment option that has been widely used in European and South American healthcare for years. Ozone (O3), a molecule composed of three oxygen atoms, possesses remarkable anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and antifungal properties that take effect immediately upon contact.

The applications of ozone in dentistry are extensive, particularly given the prevalence of bacteria in the oral cavity that can negatively impact teeth and gums. Ozone therapy can be utilized in various dental procedures, including:

• Periodontal (gum) treatment
• Preventive and restorative dentistry
• Minimally invasive dentistry
• Root canal therapies
• Accelerated healing of canker sores and oral lesions

At Ceres Pediatric Dentistry, we are one of the few dental practices in the country trained to incorporate ozone therapy into our treatments. This natural disinfection method enhances our ability to provide superior care for our young patients. To learn if ozone therapy could benefit your child, we invite you to schedule a new patient examination or a second opinion consultation with our experienced team.
