ozone converts decay-causing acids in teeth, raising pH and triggering remineralisation
Ozone treatment converts pyruvic acid in carious lesions to acetate and carbon dioxide, causing the local pH to become alkaline and enabling rapid remineralisation.
What this means for you
When acid levels in a cavity drop and the local environment turns alkaline, your tooth's natural mineral-rebuilding process can switch back on. This is how early decay may be slowed or reversed — your enamel gets a chance to reharden rather than continue breaking down.
