Ozonation as Dental Disinfectant Agent
The founder of the Center for Ceramic Dental Implants, Dr. Azadeh “Amy” Khajavi focuses on biological and holistic dental procedures that tend to the overall health of the patient. Designated as a Master Dentist in Full Mouth Reconstruction, Dr. Azadeh Khajavi utilizes holistic tools such as ozonation as a disinfectant agent in dental procedures. Within the field of dentistry, ozone can be used as a form of ozonated water and oil that can quickly oxidize organic materials and destroy pathogens such as viruses and bacteria. Ozonated water as sanitary irrigation during tooth extractions and oral surgery can help maintain a clean, hygienic environment, thereby reducing the risk of infection. In fact, ozonated water has oxidizing properties that are several hundred times stronger than those of hydrogen peroxide. After surgery, ozonated water or oil can be used as a topical disinfectant that promotes healing. Additionally, the substance can be useful within a dental practice to sterilize dental instruments and to disinfect acrylic dentures.
