🦷 Mondays with Mark: Have You Heard of Ozone Therapy?

Ozone therapy is something I wish had been around earlier in my career. Since the topic of ozone therapy has come up several times in our Live Q&As for The Oral Microbiome Reset program, I’d like to provide a basic overview of what dentists and patients alike should know about this new advancement in dentistry.

By the way, if you want to work with a functional dentist who offers ozone therapy, check out The Functional Dentist Directory and search your city: https://askthedentist.com/directory

Many of our member dentists on the Functional Dentist Directory are offering it, with great results.

What is ozone therapy?

1. Ozone therapy harnesses the power of ozone, a supercharged form of oxygen that carries an extra molecule. This powerful oxidizing agent is renowned for its antimicrobial properties, capable of safe elimination of bacteria, viruses, and fungi.
2. The therapy is non-invasive, carried out via a small handpiece which focuses the ozone gas or water onto the affected area. It’s achieved in several short sessions, each lasting just 1 to 10 minutes.

Who can benefit from ozone therapy?

This could be anyone, regardless of age. It’s particularly beneficial for:

1. Those looking for non-invasive treatment options — With no painful injections, ozone therapy is a minimally invasive procedure with quick recovery times.
2. Individuals dealing with stubborn microorganisms – Ozone therapy efficiently eradicates troublesome bacteria, fungi, parasites, viruses, and other pathogens with its robust antimicrobial power.
3. People seeking to boost overall oral health – Ozone therapy can improve blood flow, enhance immune responses, leading to quick recovery and decreased risk of infections.

My friend and functional dentist, Dr. Staci, is an expert on ozone therapy, and I encourage you to read her article on the topic on her website: https://doctorstaci.com/ozone-therapy/
