Ozone Therapy in Houston

Today you find the safe, natural power of oxidation in everyday products ranging from laundry detergent to face creams and pet shampoos. At Houston Biological Dentist in Houston, TX, Dr. Marilyn Jones utilizes the sanitizing and healing properties of oxidation in gentle ozone therapy.

Understanding ozone therapy

The chemical symbol for ozone is O3 because it is just a form of oxygen with one extra atom compared to the air we breathe. The additional atom makes ozone unstable, continually trying to move electrons to become the more stable O2 – oxidation.

Healthy human cells have anti-oxidant properties, so they are not harmed by ozone. However, because of a more biologically simple cell structure, bacteria, viruses, fungi, and mold cannot survive contact with ozone. Oxidation ruptures their cell walls, causing them to die almost instantly.

Ozone is widely used in the disinfection of public water supplies because it is more effective than chlorine and breaks down quickly leaving no harmful residue. Use of ozone in treatment of medical conditions including cancer, AIDS, and MS is increasing.

Why Houston, TX patients opt for ozone therapy

In dentistry, ozone is applied as a controlled stream of gas, as ozonated water, or infused into organic oils.

Here are some of the ways Dr. Jones applies ozone in safe, effective dental treatments:

  • Mercury-safe dentistry – As part of the amalgam removal process, ozone helps to detoxify the body.
  • Dental caries – Ozone kills cavity-causing bacteria and reverses early decay, often avoiding drilling and filling.
  • Gum disease – Sanitizing periodontal pockets and root surfaces helps to avoid bacterial re-invasion.
  • Tooth and bone infection – Ozone boosts the body’s immune response.
  • Soft tissue abscesses and ulcerations – Ozone brings fast relief from cold and canker sores.
  • Extraction – Ozone cleanses the socket and stimulates the body’s natural ability to heal by increasing localized circulation.
  • Sensitivity – Ozone helps to harden compromised tooth structure, reducing sensitivity from acid erosion or soft enamel. It also hardens root surfaces exposed by gum recession.
Ozone therapy is one of the distinctions of this truly biological dental practice in Houston, TX.

Wow! I cannot explain how truly grateful I am to have found Dr. Jones. I was referred to her practice from a friend, and to say the least it was a very pleasant experience. Like most people, I have always been nervous about going to the dentist, but Dr. Jones put all my fears at ease. She was gentile, thorough and listened to all of my questions and concerns. Her staff was so welcoming and I cannot wait to return with the rest of my family.

In general, I have a strong dislike for the dentist. I have very sensitive teeth and continually find that dentists do not listen to me as I explain this.I really appreciate how Marilyn is willing to listen to you and really takes into account what you say. It means a lot for a dentist to take the time to do that and actually follow through with what they say that they are going to do. This was the best experience that I've had with a dentist, and I will definitely be going back!

Just like most people I hate going to the dentist but Dr. Jones office was very professional and polite; they made my experience very pleasant. When I asked a lot of questions they took the time to explain things to me or elaborate their answers. I would definitely recommend making your next dentist appointment here if you want to be sure you have a seamless and stress free experience!

My regular dentist failed to make my appointment so I came into this dental office as a walk-in and surprisingly was seen within minutes. It was just a routine check-up but they found a minor cavity on my back molar. Fortunately, I have set up a follow-up appointment with Dr. Jones instead of my regular dentist. I was really impressed by the staff and the professionalism. I received literature about gum health and when I called back an hour later with more questions, all were answered immediately. The location is perfect so I'm happy to have stumbled upon it, definitely going to refer my friends!

First time here and I have to say I was really impressed. The location of the office is great and easy to find and the staff here are very professional. I found Dr. Jones when I started my search for a dentist in the area and I'm glad I did. I don't know about the other services she provides but speaking for myself I can say I think she has routine dental and patient care down pat, I just might make this my permanent dentist office.

It's that time again. dental cleanings, physical exams, and all other fun stuff that you never really have the time to do, but know it has to be done. I am a person that hates going to medical appointments of any kind and not because of fear or pain, but because it seems that many offices have poor time management, and "ain't nobody got time for dat". I arrived about ten minutes before my appointment time, but since it was near the end of the workday, I was sure I would be waiting forever. To my great delight, I had barely completed my enrollment paperwork when I was escorted to the back by a friendly dental assistant that asked about my day and chatted about hers; she did a good job at helping me relax. The rest of the appointment went smoothly. Dr. Jones has warm, friendly eyes that made me feel as if she really cares about what’s best for you when she speaks to you. All I went in for was cleaning and checkup, but I got a lot more. I found a regular dentist.

I am a recent transplant to Houston and was recommended Marilyn's practice by friends. I was worried there would be difficulty with my insurance and transferring my paperwork from my dentist back in MD, but receptionist was extremely helpful and took care of everything. The waiting room was nice and welcoming. Unlike most doctor or dentist appointments there was no waiting an hour after your original appointment time. The staff was prompt and courteous. After being lead into the exam room I was greeted by a technician/ hygienist (?) who cleaned my teeth and took the necessary x-rays. Marilyn came in after and was extremely nice and patient answering all my questions about a minimal oral surgery I would need to schedule for the future. Overall for a dentist appointment it was a very pleasant visit 🙂
