Ozone Therapy San Antonio
Support Your Oral and Overall Health
Ozone is a molecule that consists of three oxygen atoms bonded together. Our atmosphere is full of it, and it plays an important role in protecting us from harmful solar radiation. But did you know that ozone is more than just a natural sunscreen? It can also support the success of your holistic dental treatments. Continue reading below to learn some important details about how ozone therapy in our San Antonio office can promote your oral and overall wellness.
How Does Ozone Therapy Work?
Ozone therapy is not typically a standalone treatment. Rather, it works along other procedures to optimize results and lead to a faster, easier recovery period.
During certain procedures, we may apply ozonated water or saline to the treatment area. In other cases, we may carefully administer ozone gas. In any circumstance, ozone creates something called a transient oxidative burst. That sounds complicated, but it is basically a chemical reaction that kills harmful microorganisms and stimulates important biological processes. For example, it can help to increase blood flow, support your body’s immune response, and encourage faster healing overall.
Ozone therapy is comfortable, fast, and very safe when it is properly administered.
