Dental Ozone Therapeutic Modalities

Dr. Stagg has attended the American Academy of Integrative Medicine and Dentistry’s Ozone course, and has successfully completed all the necessary training for her Ozone Therapy Certification. Her staff has been thoroughly trained in the application of dental therapeutic modalities, and her office offers these to assist her patients on the path to optimum wellness. This treatment is the latest innovation in Dentistry and has many benefits that extend beyond the health of the mouth in the oral systemic link.

A few words in reference to what is Ozone and how it works: Ozone is a natural occurring safe gas and consists of three molecules of oxygen. Ozone is just an energized form of oxygen and it is impossible to be allergic to it. Bacteria, fungi, viruses, molds, algae and parasites are positively charged and lack antioxidant enzymes in their cell membranes. When ozone is introduced, it creates a reaction which neutralizes these infectious “bugs.” There are a multitude of therapeutic applications and the location of the infection will determine the application.

We are pleased to offer the following Ozone Dental Therapeutic Modalities:
  • Ozonated water is used as a pre-treatment rinse to disinfect the oral cavity. It is used as part of our process to sterilize and disinfect the waterlines for each of our dental units. We also incorporate it into hygiene / teeth cleanings as the irrigation solution used during patient’s visits.
  • Nasal insufflation therapy treats patients with symptomatic teeth and is effective in sinus, upper respiratory and lung infections.
  • Ear insufflation therapy treats patients for TMD and/or dental symptoms as well as throat infections. It is considered a foundational ozone therapy.
  • Trigger Point injections and Prolozone therapy to eliminate lactic acid buildup and reduce pain especially in pain inducing muscle tension areas. Different injections depending on their levels of penetration will have different therapeutic responses. For example, at an intra-dermal entry the response will be an anti-oxidant response. A Sub-cutaneous entry will have a vascular response and a muscular application will have an anti-Inflammatory response.
  • Treatment of Periodontal disease with Oxygen / Ozone Therapy: We can arrest periodontal disease with oxygen, ozone and water, treat periodontal disease with ozonated olive oil, and enhance soft tissue management programs with both in- office and at-home usage. We can fabricate special trays to treat with total arch insufflations in office and provide our patients with the tools for proper home care promoting enhanced outcomes.
  • Caries Arrestment and Tooth Structure Surface Preparation. Ozone will help us as Practitioners during preparations for pit and fissure sealants, cavity and crown procedures, to create the ideal bonding surface, arrest caries and root sensitivities. Ozone can also help prevent the need for endodontic therapy if there is a carious or mechanical exposure of the pulp.
  • Utilization of Oxygen / Ozone in Endodontics. As a gas, Ozone can eliminate infections during endodontic treatment by reaching areas that are not possible otherwise in conventional therapy thereby providing a safe and effective root canal treatment. Osseous lesions can be treated using a procedure applying the gas directly into the bone surrounding the tooth.
  • Oral Surgical Applications. Bony surgical sites can be preconditioned with Ozone Therapy for enhancing implant surgeries’ outcomes, as also post-extraction and grafting sites.
  • Ozone therapy can also increase lymphatic stimulation and drainage. There are also treatment protocols for tonsils and associated soft tissues.

What Our Patients Are Saying

Real stories from patients who discovered how life-changing Health Connections Dentistry holistic dentistry can be.

Nerissa Johnson

Dr. Stagg and her fantastic staff have been wonderfully instrumental in the success of our daughter's airway and orthodontic correction. We would highly recommend her to everyone!

Tami Smith

Dr Stagg and her team are amazing. Always happy and kind... always pay attention to detail and go above and beyond for their patients. Dr. Stagg's knowledge is very impressive and you know you are in good hands.

Laura Aho Parsons

I came to get help from Dr. Stagg as an emergency case, referred by my Dentist. Dr. Stagg and her team did extensive testing to get to the cause of my pains, which turned out to be TMJ Disorder. But she also discovered I had Sinus issues and referred me to an ENT specialist, for an emergency appointment. She and Dr. Malis were able to discuss my case prior to my appointment so we were primed for what needed to happen first and soon--sinus surgery! Later she referred me to a Cranio-Sacral specialist to help with musculature and skeletal issues. Dr Stagg has amazing intuition, is an artist sculpting each apparatus, a natural healer, uses all the latest technologies and has a staff as professional, yet compassionate, as she is to handle every step of the individualized protocols needed for each unique patient. She is a rare Find indeed.

Cecile Blunt

Who knew that my jaw and sleeping problems could be addressed by the expansion of this 83 year old mouth? Well, Dr Stagg knew!! The ALF and lower orthotic are improving my situation almost daily for 7 months now. She and her staff are wonderful!!!

Alexandra Poolt

I had a very pleasant experience with Dr. Stagg and her excellent team all the way through the assessment process and into the treatment. I finally have a better understanding of my teeth, the mouth & the tongue and how all interconnects to show a picture of my overall health. If you have been searching for answers beyond standard dental care, give her a try!!!

Lisa B

Before my treatment I found myself to have severe fatigue, no motivation to do anything, and procrastination on the smallest things. The first day I wore my orthotic, my pain in my neck and upper back diminished. I find myself awakening in the morning feeling like I got a good night sleep and I am able to fall asleep with no problem. My fatigue has lessened tremendously. I have and would recommend this treatment to friends. My life has become more enjoyable being pain free.

Cristiano V

Before seeing Dr. Stagg, I struggled for years with constant fatigue, poor sleep, and jaw tension I didn’t understand. She discovered that my airway issues, sleep apnea, and TMJ were all connected — and that the root cause was in my mouth. Through her precise, gentle treatment, my breathing improved, my sleep became deep and restorative, and the daily pain I lived with disappeared. It completely changed my health, energy, and focus. I can’t thank you enough!.

Dr. Charles D. Dusch, Jr.
