Biological Dentistry Uniquely for You

Ozone Therapy 

What is ozone? Very simply, ozone is made when three oxygen atoms are bonded together instead of just two. If you’ve ever noticed a pungent smell after a nearby lightning strike, you were smelling ozone. 


When used in dentistry or medicine, ozone has a remarkable quality—it acts as a disinfectant and is antimicrobial. Dr. Chang uses ozone as he fills a tooth to reduce its sensitivity after treatment. It can also be used to save a tooth that has a deep cavity which has nearly reached the nerve. 


Ozone therapy is given to every patient who comes to Transcend Dental Health for a cleaning. They swish freshly-made ozone water around their mouth for a minute. This brings down the bacterial load in their mouth before the cleaning starts. Otherwise, any bleeding during cleaning could allow bacteria to enter the bloodstreams, putting the patient’s health at risk. In this case, ozone is acting as a disinfectant.


In addition to its uses in dentistry, ozone therapy can be put to use in many other ways. Dr. Chang can treat infected sinuses, ears and tonsils with ozonated products. He can also treat TMJ pain and headaches. 


Ozone has the amazing quality of killing virus, bacteria, molds, fungi and parasites. It also stops pain and inflammation and stimulates the immune system. One reference book on the medical use of ozone lists 114 diseases that respond to this treatment. That is why Dr. Chang makes full use of this remarkable substance in his practice. 

“Ozone therapy is a process of administering ozone in a gas, water or oil. Ozone's a miracle. It's the most powerful medicine in the universe, I'm sure.”

—Dr. Kevin Chang
