Ozone Therapy
Ozone — a highly reactive form of oxygen — offers remarkable therapeutic potential when used with thoughtful calibration. In the right concentration, it helps eliminate harmful microbes, encourages natural healing, and restores balance within the oral environment and many other internal and external tissues of the human body.
What Is Ozone Therapy?
Ozone therapy is based on the natural transformation of oxygen into ozone, a highly reactive form of oxygen created when electrical energy splits oxygen molecules and allows them to recombine into O₃. This process occurs naturally in the atmosphere during lightning storms and is replicated in medicine through precise, controlled technology.
In dentistry, medical-grade ozone is applied in gas, water, or oil form to support healing, regulate microbial balance, and strengthen oral tissues. It works through a unique dual action: neutralizing harmful microorganisms while supporting the surrounding tissues’ natural ability to regenerate.
When ozone contacts microbial cells, it disrupts their protective membranes and biofilms, making it effective against bacteria, fungi, and viruses. At the same time, it promotes circulation, oxygen delivery, cellular energy production, collagen formation, and enamel remineralization.
This combination of cleansing and restoration allows ozone to function as both a therapeutic and regenerative tool within biologically aligned dental care.
Benefits of Ozone Therapy
Ozone therapy provides wide-ranging biological and clinical benefits when applied appropriately. It helps reduce harmful microbes and break down biofilms that contribute to decay, gum disease, inflammation, and infection. By improving oxygenation and circulation, it supports immune response, tissue repair, and cellular energy production.
Many patients experience improved comfort, reduced sensitivity, and more efficient healing. Ozone is particularly valuable in cases involving chronic inflammation, recurrent infection, or delayed recovery. Within holistic dentistry, ozone supports natural repair mechanisms rather than suppressing symptoms. Its minimally invasive nature allows treatment to remain biologically respectful while strengthening the oral environment.
Ozone therapy may support:
Reduced inflammation and microbial imbalance
Enhanced wound healing and tissue regeneration
Improved enamel remineralization
Support for long-term tissue stability
Calmer inflammatory responses
Greater comfort during recovery
Meet Our Ozone Therapy Specialist
Dr. Rossinski offers ozone therapy as part of a holistic, patient-focused dental philosophy.
In holistic dentistry, where every intervention must respect the body’s innate intelligence, precision is the principle that gives ozone its value. Proper education and training are essential when working with medical-grade ozone. Dr. Rossinski completed her ozone training program over a decade ago and has been integrating it into clinical practice ever since.

How We Use Ozone in Our Practice
Ozone is applied in different forms depending on clinical needs, anatomy, and treatment objectives. Each form offers specific advantages within the oral environment.
Ozone Gas
Ozone gas is used in deep spaces and complex anatomy where precision is essential. It may be applied to disinfect cavities, prepare root canals, treat periodontal pockets, support post-surgical healing, and manage localized infections.
Ozonated Water
Ozonated water is used as a therapeutic rinse before, during, and after procedures. It reduces microbial load, cleans periodontal spaces, supports healing after extractions and surgery, and helps maintain oral balance.
Ozonated Oil
Ozonated oil provides sustained release of active compounds. It is used to support healing of inflamed gums, oral lesions, and extraction sites, and may be incorporated into selected home-care routines.
Where Ozone Makes a Difference
Ozone therapy may be incorporated into care for:
Gum Health and Periodontal Therapy
Supports reduction of inflammation, breakdown of biofilms, and improved tissue healing.
Tooth Decay and Early Caries
Disinfects early lesions and supports natural remineralization.
Root Canal Support
Reaches complex internal spaces and helps neutralize pathogens.
Oral Lesions and Infections
Supports healing of ulcers, viral lesions, and immune-related conditions.
Surgical Procedures
Reduces infection risk and supports recovery after extractions and implant care.
TMJ Support
May reduce inflammation and improve tissue oxygenation.
Aesthetic and Whitening Support
Helps neutralize stains and reduce microbial discoloration.
Bad Breath and Oral Balance
Reduces sulfur-producing bacteria and supports healthier oral flora.
Sensitive Teeth
May soothe sensitivity through remineralization support and tissue regulation.
All applications are selected individually and integrated thoughtfully into comprehensive treatment planning.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
01
What conditions can ozone therapy support?
Ozone therapy may be used to support treatment of cavities, gum disease, infections, inflammation, slow-healing wounds, root canal preparation, surgical recovery, and oral lesions. Its use depends on clinical indication and individual response.
02
Is ozone therapy safe?
When delivered in controlled, medical-grade concentrations using proper equipment, ozone therapy is considered safe and well tolerated. Safety depends on correct dosing and professional application.
03
Does ozone therapy replace traditional dental treatment?
No. Ozone therapy does not replace conventional procedures. It is used as an adjunct to support disinfection, healing, and tissue stability alongside standard treatment.
04
Is ozone therapy painful?
Most patients experience ozone therapy as comfortable and non-irritating. Applications are brief and designed to support tissue health without discomfort.
05
Can ozone help with sensitivity and inflammation?
Yes. By improving oxygenation and supporting immune response, ozone may help calm inflammatory patterns and reduce sensitivity in appropriate cases.
06
Is ozone suitable for everyone?
Suitability is determined during consultation based on oral health status, medical history, and treatment goals.
07
How does ozone fit into holistic dentistry?
Ozone aligns with holistic principles by supporting biological balance, minimizing tissue stress, and encouraging natural repair mechanisms rather than relying solely on chemical or mechanical intervention.
08
Why is professional application important?
Ozone is highly effective when used correctly. Improper handling or incorrect dosing can reduce benefit or cause irritation. Medical-grade equipment and clinical expertise are essential for safe, effective use.
