What Is Ozone Therapy?

Ozone is a naturally occurring molecule composed of three oxygen atoms (O₃). In medical applications, it is used in controlled amounts to support the body’s healing mechanisms. While ozone in the atmosphere protects us from UV radiation, in the clinical setting it acts as a powerful oxygen donor with antimicrobial and regenerative properties.

When introduced into the body, ozone interacts with blood and tissues to increase oxygen efficiency, reduce pathogens, and stimulate cellular repair.

How Ozone Therapy Works
Ozone therapy increases the efficiency of oxygen metabolism at the cellular level. This means your cells use oxygen more effectively, which is crucial for energy production and immune function. For patients with chronic inflammation, low energy, or delayed healing, improving oxygen utilization can make a noticeable difference.

The therapy also works by disrupting the structure of bacteria, viruses, and fungi—neutralizing them without the use of pharmaceuticals. It activates local antioxidant responses and encourages the body to initiate its own healing processes more rapidly and thoroughly.

Benefits of Ozone Therapy
Many patients report increased energy, faster recovery, and reduced inflammation after ozone treatment. The therapy enhances circulation, supports detoxification, and provides antimicrobial action without harsh side effects.
How Ozone Therapy Supports Whole-Body Health
Because ozone supports the immune system and oxygen delivery, its benefits extend beyond the immediate treatment area. Ozone works by delivering concentrated oxygen to the body, where it boosts mitochondrial activity, supports detoxification, and enhances the immune response. It doesn’t just mask symptoms—it gets to the root.

We use it to:

  • Reduce inflammation
  • Eliminate bacteria, viruses, and fungi
  • Stimulate tissue regeneration
  • Improve blood flow and oxygen uptake

Ozone in Holistic Dentistry

Ozone therapy fits naturally into our approach to biological dentistry. We use ozone to clean and disinfect areas during procedures, reduce the bacterial load in the mouth, and support healing. It’s especially helpful during root canal procedures, gum treatments, and after extractions.

By using ozone, we often reduce or eliminate the need for antibiotics or other chemical-based interventions. It supports the oral microbiome while still creating a sterile environment, allowing us to protect your long-term health while addressing immediate dental concerns.

Common Questions About Ozone Therapy

“What is Ozone?”
Ozone (O3) is a supercharged form of oxygen (O2). Unlike the stable O2 molecule, O3 is unstable. When applied as a gas, in water, or in oil, this instability causes the extra oxygen atom to detach. This released atom effectively destroys the cell walls of harmful microbes without damaging human cells. This antimicrobial property makes ozone incredibly versatile in dentistry, improving patient outcomes.
“How is Ozone Used in Dentistry?”
Depending on the therapeutic need of the patient, ozone can be applied as ozone gas, ozonated water, or ozonated oil. It can require one treatment or multiple applications to the affected area.
“Is Ozone safe?”
Ozone is a naturally occurring substance that is minimally invasive. It is a powerful antimicrobial that safely works with the body’s immune system.
“Who can benefit from Ozone?”
Ozone can address many dental concerns. After reviewing your health history and goals, the doctors at Herre Holistic Dental can determine if ozone works as a treatment modality for you.
