HealOzone - now available at Wilkinson Dental Care We are pleased to introduce you to HealOzone which is the latest technology in the treatment of tooth decay. Ozone treatment works by killing bacteria, viruses and fungi and promoting healing. Ozone can be used to: keep fillings smaller because less infected tooth needs to be removed, thus reducing the amount of drilling and often eliminating the need for local anaesthesia. treat deep decay and greatly reduce the need for root canal treatment. sterilise root canals before filling them make teeth less sensitive speed up healing of mouth ulcers and cold sores speed up tooth whitening in certain situations. The HealOzone unit converts oxygen into ozone which is a highly reactive oxygen molecule. It is applied to the tooth through a handpiece using a small silicone cup, this forms an airtight seal over the tooth. In 20-40 seconds the ozone disinfects the cavity and allows any dental decay to re-mineralise over the next few weeks. It greatly reduces the chance of the tooth decaying again in the future. The application of ozone in this way is completely safe and is suitable for children and adults. Of course we still advocate good oral hygiene measures and a diet low in sugary drinks and snacks. Ozone treatment has won many international dental research prizes over the last decade and is considered to be the future of dentistry (90% of dentists in New Zealand use ozone treatment). This treatment is not available on the NHS, however it can be used to complement NHS dental treatment at a cost of £12.00 per tooth. This treatment is included with all private composite fillings.
