Targeting Harmful Periodontal Bacteria

While we need to worry about the presence of harmful bacteria, our mouths also contain beneficial microbes that help to sustain its natural ecosystem. For patients who need help to combat the effects of periodontal disease, our Encinitas/San Diego, CA periodontal practice can actually recommend a holistic treatment approach known as ozone therapy to selectively fight the unwelcome bacteria present on teeth roots. This form of care depends on concentrated oxygen in liquid or gas form to remove the anaerobic microbes that are not a part of your natural ecosystem without causing more serious disruptions. This is one of several advanced services that we can recommend to help those individuals struggling with gum disease.

The Trouble With Bacteria Buildup Under Your Gum Line

As bacteria accumulate in your mouth, you become vulnerable to the buildup of harmful agents on the roots of your teeth. As they build up under your gum line, they can cause an infection and do considerable damage to gums and other surrounding tissues. This can lead to inflammation, bleeding, gum line recession, and more consequential issues such as tooth loss. These microbes can also create problems elsewhere in time, as they can infiltrate your bloodstream and move to other parts of your body.

How Ozone Therapy Targets Harmful Microbes

Through ozone therapy, we have a means of selectively combating the unwelcome bacteria that have gathered on the roots of your teeth. By using oxygen to provide care, the healthy bacteria that do not cause problems remain, but those that are responsible for your infection are treated. By preserving your natural ecosystem, your mouth is better able to sustain itself and naturally combat infection.
