We thrive off oxygen, so it's only natural that ozone, which is oxygenated oxygen, can have many positive effects on the body.

Biological Benefits

These are just some of the many documented and published biological benefits ozone has:

• Anti-inflammatory -- including neuro-inflammatory benefits.  Reduces chronic inflammation

• Anti-cancer -- upregulation of anti-cancer genes and suppression of cancer-genes!

• Regenerative -- stimulates fibroblasts (cells that build our tissues)

• Mineralizing -- helps teeth and bones improve and maintain mineralization

• Analgesic -- pain relieving

• Antibiotic -- eliminates harmful pathogens and stimulates immune activity.  Has anti-viral, anti-fungal, anti-mold, anti-bacterial, anti-yeast, and anti-protozoan properties

• Anti-toxin -- also degrades bacterial toxins (endotoxin)

• Improves tissue healing and function by Improving blood flow, building new blood vessels (angiogenesis)

• Stimulates red blood cells to deliver more oxygen

• Heals TMJ and/or any joint pain, inflammation, or disfunction

• Decreases pro-oxidation biomarkers, improves glutathione modulation, increases anti-oxidant enzymes, and reduces oxidative stress.  Ozone also protects mitochondria, improves arthritis symptoms (both osteo- and rheumatoid-), type 2 diabetes, and even has anti-aging effects.

• Improves cognitive function

• Improves cellular immunity,  pulmonary function, and decreases coagulation -- clotting from spike proteins and covid.  Prevents red blood cells from sticking to each other

• Stimulates nitric oxide (NO) release to help blood vessels and regulate blood pressure

• Reduces cardiovascular disease effects

• Increases basal metabolism

• Improves vascular diseases, degenerative diseases, skin lesions, herniated discs, and dental cavities

• Reduces iron overload and the oxidative stress of high ferritin

• Helps the body recognize, repair, and/or remove damaged proteins

• Increases DNA repair

• Reduces inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-alpha, IL-6, IL-1, and the infamous CCL5 (aka RANTES -- which is implicated in breast cancer)

• Increases ATP production and O2 metabolism, including making Kreb's cycle more efficient (how the cells make energy)

Uses in Dentistry

Ozone allows biological dentistry to achieve results that might not otherwise be possible.  Many biological applications of ozone have no substitute.   And in some cases where conventional solutions do exist, for example mouthwashes or antibiotics, ozone can often be used as a non-toxic alternative, free from the conventional side-effects.

Ozone can be used for:

• Desensitizing teeth (for example, areas of gum recession)

• Healing shallow (leathery) cavities

• Preventing cavities (instead of potentially harmful sealants)

• Mineralizing teeth

• Keeping teeth vital (alive) and avoiding root canals

• Disinfecting and healing bone after extractions, or for implants

• Healing gum disease

Ozone at Home

Ozone is used in the office for the procedures listed above, but did you know that you can use ozone at home too?  We can help provide the tools and knowledge you need at home to achieve many of the benefits listed up top, and a few more.

Take-home ozone kits are a part of certain dental procedures.
