Ozone is made of three atoms of oxygen (O3) and has many applications in oral care, as nascent oxygen is naturally antifungal, anti-bacterial, and anti-viral. It was the brilliant visionary, Nikola Tesla, an electrical genius with over 300 patents for a wireless light bulb, wireless communication, ionized gases, cold plasma, and ozone generation for oxygen therapy that invented ozone therapy.  In 1896, Tesla was issued a patent for an ozone generator. He formed the Tesla Ozone Companyand went into production of these generators. He produced a powerful gel made by bubbling ozone through olive oil until it solidified for use by naturopaths and doctors.

Ozone for Oral Care

Today, biological dental practices use ozone in the form of ozone gas and ozone infused water. Ozonatedgas has many dental uses; among these is the practice of injecting it around the root of a root canalled tooth. Cavities exposed to ozone gas will subsequently harden. In the case of a nerve exposure, ozone water followed by ozone gas will often prevent the nerve from dying. Irrigation of a surgical site with ozone water will speed healing and help remineralize the bone. The gas injected into cavitations sites is part of a protocol to clear up the cavitation. Injection of ozone into the TMJ joint has been found to be anti-inflammatory. Ozonated water is used for ingesting, gargling, and irrigating gum pockets. At home, Ozonated Tooth Serums deliver the combined benefits of ozone with potent botanicals and theseozonated gels may be applied to gums, sensitive teeth, abscesses, gum pockets, sulca, mouth lesions, and cold sores.

Ozone is especially beneficial for lifting your oral ecology to a new balance and to add variety to your daily care. The Ozonated Healthy Gum Gel can be applied to the gums and left on as your last step in this effective ritual.

Step One:  The Salt Rinse

Make a salt water solution to keep in your bathroom (16oz of spring water to 1oz of salt in a mason jar).  Add a drop of Yogi Tooth Serum or Healthy Gum Drops. Start with a salt water rinse before brushing. Use a little shot glass, pour in a bit of brine, swish and spit.

Step Two: Scraping the Tongue

Holding ends of tongue scraper, gently scrape the tongue from back to front 2-3 times. Rinse the scraper off each time.

Step Three: Brushing the Gums

Use a dry (ionic) toothbrush; add one drop of Yogi Tooth Serum, or Healthy Gum Drops, or Ozonated Healthy Gum Gel to one tiny drop of Neem Enamelizer on the brush. Brush gum down towards teeth for two minutes. Use special care over the gum line.

Step Four: Polishing the Teeth 

Polish with a dry round-headed electric toothbrush. Use a tiny, half of a pea sized amount of Ozonated Clay Tooth-Truth Paste or Tooth-Truth Powder Polish (you may add a drop of serum or Neem Enamelizer to this). Simple baking soda also works for this polishing step.

Step Five: Checking the Gum Lines

Check gum lines for any remaining plaque; use a rubber tip gum tool with a drop of either Yogi Tooth Serum or Healthy Gum Drops or Ozonated Healthy Gum Gel.

Step Six: Flossing

Floss two times! Apply a drop of Yogi Tooth Serum or Healthy Gum Drops along the floss.

Step Seven: Final Rinse

Use salt rinse again – vigorous swish and spit.

Step Eight: Extra Care

For receding gums, bleeding gums or any area that needs extra attention, apply Yogi Tooth Serum, or Healthy Gum Drops. Ozonated Gum Gel is great to use throughout the day and it is also beneficial to apply and leave on your gums as your final step after the mouth is clean.
