Are you searching for a holistic dentistry treatment that supports natural healing and is minimally invasive? If so, you’ll want to learn more about the incredible benefits of dental ozone therapy.
Dental ozone therapy is fast becoming one of the most effective treatment options used in dentistry today. This minimally invasive and conservative approach to oral care can be used to:
- clear away infections, and cavity-causing bacteria
- heal gum infections and support bone regeneration
- reduce tooth sensitivity
Holistic dentists have used this procedure for many years, but it has only recently gained significant attention as bacteria become more and more antibiotic-resistant.
Many patients favour it because it’s conservative, painless, minimally invasive, and can dramatically lessen treatment time.
What is Ozone Dental Therapy?
Ozone is essentially a super-charged form of oxygen with the unique ability to disinfect. This fights off many different types of bacteria that cause periodontal diseases, dental pain, and tooth decay.
Your holistic dentist will use ozone dental therapy when he/she needs to clean out certain areas of the mouth. Using a specialized ozone machine, your dentist will use a blast of ozone to successfully eliminate any bad microbes or bacteria.
Ozone can be applied:
- using liquid
- in a gaseous form
Our dental office uses medical-grade pure oxygen to generate pure ozone, which can then be used in the gas and liquid form.
A consultation with Dr Korol can help you discover whether adding ozone therapy to your dental health routine would be beneficial.
Benefits of Dental Ozone Therapy
Ozone dental therapy can be used for a wide number of applications and our Calgary dental clinic has incorporated this advanced technology to enhance our treatments for the benefit of our patients’ oral health.
Here are just a few of the reasons why you may want to talk to your holistic dentist about this type of therapy.

- It can also help disinfect areas of the mouth after a tooth extraction, pre-wash surgical sites , and in other similar procedures.

Ozone has been used very successfully to treat periodontal disease. In this procedure, 3 ozonated water is flushed below the gum line and/or ozone gas infiltrated into the gum tissue and supporting tissue to restore the health to the mouth.
3. It’s Noninvasive
For those with anxiety about dental pain or procedures, ozone therapy can be a fantastic option. It can be used in plaque control, help decrease sensitive tooth necks, and assist in cavity preventions without any invasive tools or discomfort.
4. It’s All-Natural

bacteria without resorting to the use of other products that can have toxic and unhealthy side-effects.
