No more fillings! Ozone is a new alternative that repairs decayed teeth without the need to numb or drill.
Ozone is a form of oxygen that shields the Earth from harmful sunlight. Ozone is also a natural purifier and has been used in the water industry for some years for purifying supplies.
Ozone can be used as a non invasive treatment to fight tooth decay, as it kills the acid-producing bacteria that cause decay, without the need to numb a tooth or drill the tooth. The tooth is then protected with a fluoride releasing white filling material. This treatment is not available on the health service and costs around £40.00 per tooth.
| COLD SORES |
Ozone is also being used in the treatment of cold sores, a small silicone cup is put over the cold sore and the gas is then delivered though a tube and special hand piece. The cold sore is bathed for 30 - 40 seconds at a time, the Ozone works by breaking up the cell walls of bacteria and viruses. The optimum time to apply the Ozone to the cold sore is in the first three days of an attack. |
