Basic
Explanation Of Ozone
In many cases, we can now treat decay and
sensitivity in your teeth with a simply, totally painless
application of ozone, which takes about 20 seconds.
Following this the decay process in your tooth is arrested
and the tooth heals totaly naturally over a timescale
of 14 weeks. Furthermore the bacteria, which cause tooth
decay, are totally eliminated from the area treated for
this 14-week period. This is an exciting and revolutionary
development in dentistry and is now available at our practice.
What
Is Ozone?
Ozone is our natural protection against harmful sunlight,
it is all around us and is present in the air that we
breathe. Ozone is a clean, fresh smelling gas that you
can find at high altitudes.
What
Can Ozone Do For Me?
Ozone is used in hospitals and public places to control infections
and smells. It is also used to purify the water that we drink.
Ozone kills bacteria, fungi and viruses within 5 seconds. It
works by breaking up the cell walls of bacteria, viruses or
fungi, and breaks up sulphur compounds into non-smelling compounds.
How
Can It Help My Teeth?
We use a small laser called DIAGNOdent,
so that we can look inside the surface of your teeth.
DIAGNOdent detects the areas of bacteria that cause decay;
this allows us to assess how much decay is present. Ozone
kills the bacteria that cause decay. Decay is caused by
acid producing bacteria that grow out of control.
What
Is The Procedure?
A special hand piece is used to put ozone
onto the decayed area. The procedure is simple and painless.
There is no drilling, injections pain or damage to teeth.
We may give you a special tooth paste and mouth rinse
to promote the healing of the tooth's treatment.
We may also use a provisional restoration (Fuji 7), this also
aids in the remineralising of the tooth. These products contain
all the essential minerals that your body needs to repair the
decayed area.
How
Will I Know It Has Worked?
We may ask you to come back to check your laser readings and
clinical appearance. The research shows that in 90% of cases,
the decay has either stopped or has reversed. We may re-do the
ozone at this appointment if needed.
Do
I Feel Anything?
No! The whole process of the laser readings, the application
of ozone and the application of Fuji 7 restoration to your tooth,
are painless. It does not involve any damage to your tooth or
gum tissue.
What
Are The Alternatives?
Your alternatives to ozone are traditional treatments that we
may have offered you in the past. Fillings using injection and
the drill involve drilling away the decay and the tooth. A filling
is then put in to stop up the damaged area. These fillings usually
need replacing after 5 to 10 years. If you have no treatment
on the decayed tooth it will cause further decay and pain, this
may result in the tooth being removed.
The Healozone treatment represents a considerable investment
for our practice, however the potential of this treatment (both
at present and in future) is huge. Our aim is always to provide
the most effective and up to date treatments currently available.
In the use of the Healozone unit we feel that we have a real
chance of changing the way your dental treatment is provided
and dramatically reducing the number of fillings required with
a simple, quick and totally painless procedure! If you have
any other questions, please do not hesitate to speak
to us about this advance.
