© An Ozonater Production 2010 HealOzone is a treatment that can be integrated into most  aspects of  dentistry. The HealOzone unit  produces ozone gas, which is a  highly reactive oxygen molecule, and  this is applied to the isolated area  through a handpiece which has  a  small rubber cup on it. Highly  concentrated ozone gas is safely  applied, sterilizes the site and is then siphoned away and neutralised. HealOzone works by killing bacteria,  viruses, fungi and stimulating the natural  healing process. It can therefore be used to:  • sterilise tooth fissures before sealing  them • keep fillings smaller because less  infected tooth needs to be removed  • sterilise root canals before filling  them • make teeth less sensitive • speed up healing of mouth ulcers and  cold sores Together with the DiagnoDent and Air  Abrasion it is one of the least invasive ways  to perform dentistry today. We have been using HealOzone for  several years and find that it reduces  and can eliminate the need for  drilling in teeth that  normally would  have had a conventional filling. It is  suitable for children and adults and  makes dental visits more pleasant. The  procedure uses ozone gas which is  safely delivered to the area being  treated. Ozone has that wonderful,  fresh smell that you find in the  mountains and is a very powerful,  natural disinfectant which breaks  down into oxygen. It can also be used  to treat ulcers and cold sores.
