Oxygen/Ozone Therapy

As a holistic dentist, Dr. Silvano Senn uses natural and healing therapies in his practice at Whole Health Dentistry. Advanced research and new technologies are implemented to provide patients with the most effective dental care available. A recent innovation in the dental field is the use of therapy in dental procedures. Therapy works using medical-grade oxygen that is processed using specialized equipment to produce O3. This form of oxygen is completely safe and can be used in liquid or gas form to improve patient outcomes.

It works to counter bacteria, viruses, and even cancer by invading harmful cells and destroying them from the inside out. It proves useful in various medical and dental settings to improve results from treatments already proven effective even when used alone. This ensures the most satisfactory outcome possible with no discomfort or inconvenience to the patient.

One treatment area in which is used effectively by Whole Health Dentistry is in endodontic, or root canal, therapy. When the pulp of a tooth is invaded with bacteria, infection can result, and may lead to severe pain for a patient. A root canal is designed to relieve pain and pressure in the tooth, and allow preservation of the external tooth structure. The dentist performs a root canal through a painless process of accessing and removing the infected tissues of the tooth. While the canal is open, it will be cleansed and disinfected to prevent reinfection. It is applied during this step to help eradicate any bacteria. The tooth can then be safely sealed and the functional surface restored with a filling or dental crown.

Extraction is the only other option to provide relief from an infected tooth. A root canal is preferred, as it allows natural preservation for the patient. For overall health, natural function is preferred, and is available under the experienced care of Dr. Silvano Senn. Ozone therapy is also used in other treatments available at Whole Health Dentistry.
