If you have periodontal disease, your dental provider may have suggested that you receive ozone therapy. This is a holistic treatment option that involves administering ozone- a component of oxygen- to your mouth for therapeutic reasons. At Saxony Dental Arts Center in Encinitas, CA, we offer this as a way to fight against periodontal disease. Today we are here to tell you more about this holistic treatment option and its benefits.

What is Periodontal Disease? 

The build-up of bacteria and plaque over time without a proper oral hygiene routine can lead to severe problems like periodontal disease. There are three main parts of gum disease: gingivitis, periodontitis, and advanced periodontitis. Thankfully these can be reversed, but depending on the severity you may have to undergo more intensive work to help this. Typical gum disease treatment plans can include dental cleanings, root planing, pocket reduction therapy, grafting, and more depending on the severity of the case.

How Does Ozone Therapy Help?

When you are already suffering from discomfort due to periodontal disease, these can be painful treatment options. In our office, we can offer a non-surgical approach to our patients that can aid in healing your gums.

This treatment option can be administered in liquid or gas form. We’ll come up with a plan together that best suits your needs. During this treatment, we use medical-grade ozone to bring more oxygen to the problem area. The bacteria that stay in your mouth and cause gum disease can be oxidized through this form of therapy. This treatment can also assist in reducing inflammation due to its less invasive methods.

Promote Healing with this Holistic Approach!

In our office, we know that a person’s entire being can affect their health. That’s why it is important for us to offer an approach that addresses these needs.

This specific method benefits patients who want a non-surgical solution to periodontitis. Gum disease can cause redness, swelling, and pain in the mouth. Typical treatment options can cause pain or discomfort because of the level of invasiveness involved. We want our patients to have less pain and can achieve that through this treatment.

Not only is this treatment option non-disruptive but it can also promote healing to the gum line. When paired with a consistent oral hygiene routine of brushing and flossing twice a day and seeing your dentist regularly, this treatment option can help reverse the effects of periodontitis.
