Ozone Therapy

What Is Ozone Therapy?

Your healthy cells, on the other hand, are loaded with antioxidants that protect them from any negative effects. And the best part? As ozone does its work eliminating infections, it breaks down into pure water and oxygen - leaving absolutely no toxic byproducts behind. This makes it one of the safest and most effective natural treatments available in modern dentistry. Many municipalities actually use ozone to sterilize their water supplies because it's so effective at killing harmful microorganisms without adding dangerous chemicals.

At Blodgett Dental Care, unlike traditional dentists, we use ozone therapy to prevent infections before they start, treat existing dental problems naturally, and speed up healing after procedures - all without the side effects associated with antibiotics or harsh chemicals.

What Makes Ozone Therapy Different at Blodgett Dental Care?

Patient Testimonials: A Holistic Approach to Ozone Therapy

These are the voices of our happy patients and their stories. Experience first-hand the sense of unique community and individual care in Dr. Blodgett's practice.

"I needed a tooth extraction d/t infection under a crown. The procedure went more than well... it was actually fascinating with the various treatments of ozone and laser and LPRF. I had no pain during the work and remarkably, I had no pain after as well. Everyone who personally worked with me were present and kind. Dr. Blodgett and Jennifer explained everything clearly and took the time to make sure I understood what was important to know and that my questions were answered."

Carrie W.

"After consulting with Dr. Blodgett, we discovered cavitations and jawbone issues stemming from those old extractions. Three of the wisdom tooth sites had infections, which Dr. Blodgett expertly addressed. The team not only removed the bacteria but also used ozone treatment to eliminate any lingering infection... Since the procedure, I've noticed a significant improvement in how I feel—more alert and less fatigued."

Kris T.

"Dr. Blodgett is a master of his craft... Once he got my crown off he discovered a biofilm of infection, old cement that was failing, and a patch of very old amalgam. To my delight the amalgam was removed safely, the biofilm and yucky cement were cleaned up and Dr. Blodgett treated my tooth with ozone prior to placing my new crown... I had an outstanding experience and a couple days out from my procedure my crown appears to be stabilizing nicely."

L. L.

"I finally found Blodgett Dental, after years of searching for a way to approach removing root canals, one that had been infected and causing bone loss... Kelly Blodgett and his team did an amazing job. They follow the SMART protocol, using lasers, L-PRF, and ozone water. They are thorough and highly skilled, all while being very friendly and cracking jokes. I am on my third day of post-op and I have had zero pain. They gave me a prescription for pain medication just in case, and I am happy to report that I haven't needed it."

FAQs about Ozone Therapy

Explore commonly asked questions about ozone therapy from our thriving community! Can't find your query? Reach out to us during our business hours and we'll be sure to help you get your question answered!

How does ozone therapy work to fight infections?

Ozone works by targeting the weak cell walls of harmful bacteria, viruses, and fungi. These harmful microorganisms have few antioxidant defenses, making them vulnerable to ozone's oxidizing power. The ozone destroys their cell membranes and eliminates the infection, while your healthy cells remain protected by their natural antioxidants.

Is ozone therapy safe?

Yes, ozone therapy is completely safe when administered by trained professionals. Unlike antibiotics or chemical treatments, ozone has no side effects and leaves no toxic residue. As it works, ozone simply breaks down into water and oxygen. We use medical-grade ozone equipment and follow strict protocols to ensure optimal safety and effectiveness.

What dental conditions can ozone therapy treat?

Ozone therapy effectively treats tooth decay, gum disease, dental infections, biofilms (bacterial colonies), and helps with faster healing after extractions, implants, and other procedures. It's also excellent for prevention, helping to eliminate harmful bacteria before they can cause problems.

How is ozone therapy administered?

We use several methods depending on your needs: ozonated water as a disinfecting rinse, ozone gas applied directly to infected areas, and ozone insufflation for deeper treatment. We also use ozonated water in our dental equipment to ensure a completely chemical-free cleaning process during all procedures.

Will I feel anything during ozone treatment?

Most patients feel nothing during ozone treatment, or they may notice a fresh, clean sensation similar to breathing mountain air. There's no pain, burning, or discomfort. Many patients actually find the treatment relaxing and enjoy the clean feeling afterward.

How does ozone therapy compare to antibiotics?

Unlike antibiotics, ozone therapy doesn't contribute to antibiotic resistance, doesn't disrupt your gut bacteria, and has no side effects. Ozone works immediately upon contact and eliminates a broader range of pathogens than most antibiotics, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites that antibiotics can't touch.
