Ozonated oils are oils that have been infused with ozone, a naturally occurring gas composed of three oxygen atoms (O3). These oils are often used in dental care due to their potential antimicrobial and healing properties. However, it's important to note that while there is some anecdotal evidence and limited research suggesting the benefits of ozonated oils in dental care, more extensive scientific studies are needed to establish their efficacy conclusively.

Here are some potential applications of ozonated oils in dental care:

Gum health:

Ozonated oils, such as ozonated olive oil, may be used topically to promote gum health. Ozone has been shown to have antimicrobial properties and can help reduce the bacterial load in the oral cavity, potentially aiding in the prevention of gum disease. Applying ozonated oil to the gums may help reduce inflammation and support the healing process.

Tooth sensitivity:

Some individuals use ozonated oils to alleviate tooth sensitivity. Ozone is believed to have a desensitizing effect on the teeth, which may provide relief for people experiencing tooth sensitivity to temperature or certain foods.

Tooth decay:

There is some limited research suggesting that ozone may have antimicrobial effects against bacteria that cause tooth decay. Ozonated oils may be used as a supplemental therapy in combination with traditional dental treatments to help combat tooth decay. However, further research is necessary to confirm its effectiveness.

It's important to note that the information provided above is based on current knowledge up until September 2021, and new research may have emerged since then. While there are several anecdotal reports on the benefits of ozonated oils in dental care, further rigorous scientific studies are needed to validate these claims.
