As we've already mentioned, maintaining the health of your mouth mostly involves managing the billions of germs that reside there. While many of them are genuinely beneficial, some aren't so nice: Actinomyces, F. nucleatum, P. gingivitis, S. mutans, and the list goes on.
More good and less harmful can be found in a healthy mouth.
Maintaining a balanced oral flora is important, but it involves more than simply brushing and flossing. What you consume is another. Herbal tinctures with antibacterial properties and pre- and probiotic supplements can also be beneficial.
But what happens if dangerous bacteria multiply uncontrollably? Pharmaceutical antibiotics make sense in certain situations, but they can seriously affect your general health. They are also limited to killing bacteria; they cannot destroy viruses or fungus, nor can they repair tissue damage caused by infections.
Thankfully, ozone is a fantastic agent used in holistic dentistry to combat dental infections.
If you're unfamiliar with therapeutic ozone, you may be more familiar with the ozone layer that exists in our atmosphere and shields us from ultraviolet light. Alternatively, you may perceive it as a pollutant, the hazy outcome of solar radiation interacting with carbon monoxide, volatile organic compounds, and more emissions.
Ozone of the medical grade is distinct. It is a potent disinfectant since it is pure and concentrated. The chemical structure of ozone—three oxygen atoms bound together—is responsible for its power.
You now breathe in molecules of oxygen, or O2, which are made up of two atoms. It is incredibly steady. It's not ozone, or O3. It truly want to become "regular" oxygen by losing that third atom. However, it also has a negative charge due to the third atom, and negative particles are drawn to positive-charged particles like viruses, bacteria, and fungi.
They are destroyed by ozone.
Immunostimulant, analgesic, antihypnotic, detoxicating, antibacterial, bioenergetic, and biosynthetic activities are some of its special qualities. Particularly for pediatric patients, its atraumatic, painless, non-invasive nature and relative lack of discomfort boost patient acceptability and compliance, making it an excellent therapeutic option.
Ozone is genuinely becoming a necessary component of holistic dentistry, offering a potent but secure, non-invasive, and affordable means of managing those "bad bugs" and promoting your body's innate healing process.
