Ozone Therapy in Dentistry
A Different Approach to Microbial Care.
Bacteria are part of everyday life in your mouth.
Some are essential to oral health. Others contribute to tooth decay, gum inflammation and infection.
When I plan dental treatment, I consider how we can manage harmful microorganisms while preserving healthy tissues.
At Yiannikos Centre for Holistic Dentistry in Nicosia and Limassol, Cyprus, we incorporate dental ozone therapy into our biological approach to oral care.
Ozone is a reactive form of oxygen with antimicrobial properties. In dentistry, it can be applied through specially designed systems as an additional technique during selected treatments.
Because thoughtful dentistry considers not only what we treat, but how we treat it.
Ozone is a gas composed of three oxygen atoms.
Its strong oxidising properties allow it to interact with microorganisms, including bacteria and fungi.
In dentistry, ozone can be delivered in different forms, including ozonated water and controlled gaseous applications.
At Yiannikos Centre, ozone therapy forms part of our approach to managing microbial contamination during appropriate dental procedures.
I consider the condition of your teeth and gums, the treatment required and how ozone can complement established dental care.
For me, technology has value when it serves a clear clinical purpose.
How We Use Ozone in Dentistry
At both our clinics, in Nicosia and Limassol, I use ozone in the following treatments.
Gum care: I apply ozone to periodontal pockets as an additional antimicrobial step during periodontal treatment, alongside professional cleaning.
Early tooth decay: I apply ozone to early lesions to reduce the bacteria associated with caries, together with preventive measures and remineralisation.
Oral ulcers: I apply ozone to ulcers and other oral lesions to reduce microbial contamination at the site.
Dental surgery: I use ozone at the surgical site during extractions and other oral surgery.
Implant care: I use ozone to decontaminate the tissues around implants when there is inflammation.
Ozone is an additional step. It does not replace the treatment itself.
The aim is to use each technique where it can contribute meaningfully to your care.
