Ozone Therapy

The use of Ozone Therapy has revolutionized the dental practices of hundreds of dentists. When ozone is used in dental procedures it treats the cause of the problem as opposed to just the symptom. Dr. Khoury is able to turn his treatment into a proactive approach rather than the same routine procedure of damage control.
Using these two agents in combination allows the dentist to treat all oral infections using only oxygen and water! Regardless of the location or the type of infection, Ozone Therapy is able to treat almost any situation. In patient care, ozone is utilized in two forms:

• Ozonated Water: The ozonated water is the perfect irrigation solution for periodontics and endodontics. Routine use of ozonated water as a pretreatment patient rinse to disinfect an oral cavity protects you, your doctor and the staff from potential contaminants produced by high-speed instruments and water spray. Ozone disinfects and sterilizes, leaving only oxygen and water as byproducts.

• Pure Oxygen/Ozone Gas: For operative dentistry, periodontics and endodontics, ozone gas is used to reach and penetrate areas where no other antibiotic or disinfectant can reach. This is possible because the infection/inflammation is positively charged (acidic) and ozone is negatively charged (basic). Therefore, the chemistry of the infection and/or inflammation attracts the ozone to the area..
