If your gums bleed easily, your smile has felt sensitive after cleanings, or you have wondered whether there is a gentler way to treat oral infections, you are not alone. Many patients search for options beyond antibiotics and harsh chemical rinses, especially when they want care that supports the whole body rather than just masking a symptom.
At Smile Design Holistic, we offer ozone therapy as part of our commitment to whole health dentistry. This natural, minimally invasive treatment uses a form of oxygen to target harmful bacteria, reduce inflammation, and support your body’s own healing response, all without the side effects that can accompany traditional antimicrobial treatments.

What Is Ozone Therapy in Dentistry?
Ozone is a naturally occurring molecule made of three oxygen atoms instead of two. When applied to the mouth in careful, controlled amounts, it acts as a powerful antimicrobial agent, disinfecting areas that are difficult to reach with a toothbrush or standard rinse alone.
In dental settings, ozone can be delivered as a gas, dissolved in water, or infused into oil, depending on the treatment goal. Each method allows us to target infection at the source, whether that is a deep gum pocket, an early-stage cavity, or tissue that needs help healing after a procedure. The concentration and delivery method are carefully selected for your situation, since a gum pocket calls for a different approach than a healing extraction site.
This flexibility is part of what makes ozone such a valuable addition to modern dental care. Rather than relying on a single method to address every concern, we can adjust our approach based on what your mouth actually needs, which allows for more precise and comfortable treatment overall.
We integrate ozone therapy into several areas of care, always tailoring the approach to your specific needs. Some of the most common applications include supporting gum health, assisting with early-stage tooth decay, and aiding recovery after oral surgery or extractions.
Because ozone works by disrupting the cell walls of harmful microbes, it can reach bacteria that live deep in tissue or within tiny channels in the tooth structure, areas that are often difficult for other disinfectants to fully access. This makes it a valuable tool for patients who want thorough care without relying solely on stronger chemical agents. Patients recovering from procedures often appreciate this approach, as it may help reduce discomfort and support a smoother healing process.
Many of our patients come to us specifically for dental care that aligns with a broader wellness mindset. Ozone therapy fits naturally into that philosophy since it works with the body rather than against it.
A growing body of clinical research supports this approach to gum health. For example, a recent clinical study found measurable improvements in gum health and tooth stability in ozone-treated areas compared with areas that received standard air alone.
Some advantages of ozone therapy include:
These benefits are part of why we continue to recommend ozone therapy as an option for patients seeking care that supports their whole-body health, not just their smile. For many, it becomes one piece of a larger picture that includes nutrition, biocompatible materials, and preventive habits that protect the mouth over the long term.
Ozone therapy tends to work best as part of a broader treatment plan, whether that includes routine dental exams and cleanings, gum disease management, or recovery support after a procedure like pocket reduction surgery. During your visit, we will evaluate your oral health and talk through whether ozone therapy makes sense alongside any other treatments you may need.
Every mouth is different, so we take time to understand your history and goals before recommending a path forward. This conversation helps us build a plan that feels right for you, not a one-size-fits-all protocol. We also welcome questions about how ozone compares to other options you may have researched, since an informed patient is often a more comfortable one.
At Smile Design Holistic, Dr. Andy Baghaei and our Pompano Beach team believe your dental care should support your entire body, not just your teeth. With a practice built around biocompatible materials, mercury-free and fluoride-free protocols, and treatments like ozone therapy that work with your body’s natural processes, we offer a genuinely different kind of dental experience.
We also want care like this to be accessible, which is why we offer financing options including CareCredit and Cherry for qualifying patients. If you are ready to explore whether ozone therapy fits your oral health goals, reach out through our contact form and our team will help you get started.

Dentistry and nutrition are directly correlated as poor oral health has a negative impact on your ability to properly eat and digest your foods. The converse is also true as patients with poor nutrition may be at risk for tooth decay, cavities, and gum disease. Researchers have also linked common oral health issues to diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and premature or low-weight births. Your dentist can help improve your oral health as well as your digestion, nutrition, and overall wellbeing by identifying dietary contributors to negative health issues. These negative health issues can be identified by smaller signs and symptoms that are present in your mouth that you may deem insignificant. It is easy to think that a simple canker sore doesn’t have a great effect on your overall well being, but it can actually be a sign of a larger issue. That is why it is important to come in for checkups and preventive care regularly.
If you are wondering whether or not you need nutrition counseling, the answer is probably yes. In most cases, everyone can benefit from nutrition counseling in one form or another. Whether it’s as simple as learning more about supplements and proper nutrition, or taking steps to make great improvements to your overall well being, your dentist can help! It’s as simple as coming in for an exam and can be added on to any preventive appointment at our office.
Yes. Dentists undergo extensive training in the healthcare field, specifically dealing with health issues related to the mouth and digestion. This includes looking out for signs of gum disease, oral cancer, GERD, HPV, and more. Your dentist serves as a healthcare educator and is devoted to ensuring you are in the best position possible to make the right choices for your oral health.
Nutritional counseling is usually considered to be an elective treatment by most insurance providers. However, there may be some instances where this is not the case. To find out if you can use your dental insurance benefits to cover nutritional counseling at our office, we recommend getting in touch with your plan provider. We are also happy to go over your plan with you and answer any questions that you may have to ensure you are maximizing your benefits.
