Ozone Therapy Dental Cleanings
A Holistic Approach to Preventive Dental Care
Ozone therapy is an advanced, biocompatible adjunct that may be used during a routine dental prophylaxis (professional cleaning) to support optimal oral health. At our Arizona dental office serving Scottsdale, Phoenix, and surrounding communities, we utilize medical-grade ozone in carefully controlled concentrations as part of a holistic, minimally invasive approach to preventive dentistry.
​
Ozone is a naturally occurring form of oxygen known for its powerful antimicrobial properties. When used during a dental cleaning, ozone can enhance bacterial reduction, support gum health, and promote a healthier oral environment—without harsh chemicals or antibiotics.
Benefits of Ozone Use During a Dental Prophy
Advanced Antimicrobial Support
Ozone helps neutralize harmful oral bacteria associated with plaque buildup, gingivitis, and early periodontal disease. This enhanced bacterial reduction supports a cleaner mouth and healthier gums beyond mechanical cleaning alone.
​
Support for Gum and Periodontal Health
By reducing bacterial irritation along the gumline, ozone therapy may help calm inflamed tissues, reduce bleeding, and support gum healing—especially beneficial for patients with gingivitis or mild periodontal concerns.
​
Gentle, Non-Invasive, and Biocompatible
Ozone therapy is painless, non-toxic, and minimally invasive when properly administered. It aligns well with holistic and biologic dentistry principles by supporting the body’s natural healing processes rather than suppressing them.
​
Creates a Healthier Healing Environment
Ozone increases oxygen availability in treated areas, helping create an environment that supports tissue repair and overall oral wellness. This is particularly helpful for patients with sensitive gums or a history of gum disease.
​
Reduced Dependence on Harsh Chemicals
Because ozone has broad antimicrobial activity, it may reduce reliance on chemical mouth rinses or antibiotics in preventive care settings—an important consideration for patients seeking a more natural dental experience.
​
Fresher, Cleaner Feeling After Your Cleaning
Patients often report a noticeably fresher mouth after ozone-enhanced cleanings, as ozone helps neutralize odor-causing bacteria and supports a balanced oral microbiome.
