Healozone decay removal

 

One of the newest innovations in modern dentistry is the Healozone device. This technology promises to change the way many dentists provide services for their patients. The device uses a stream of Ozone, a form of oxygen, to destroy the active bacteria in decayed tooth material. This material can then be gently removed and the cavity filled.

Healozone is currently awaiting FDA approval in the United States, but it has been used for several years in other countries. As with many new technologies, Healozone may or may not be readily accepted by American dentists who tend to be quite conservative. The cost may be prohibitive for some and the technology cannot fix all types of decay.

Clearly, there are still some hurdles to benefiting from Healozone in your community, but the technology bears watching and could well help the many who find it difficult to go to the dentist.
