ozone exposure significantly reduces counts of key gum and root-canal bacteria
Ozonated water (0.5–4 mg/l) significantly reduced viable cell counts of gram-negative oral pathogens P. gingivalis, P. endodontalis, and A. actinomycetemcomitans, with gram-negative bacteria being more sensitive than gram-positive streptococci.
What this means for you
The bacteria most linked to gum disease and root infections are among the most vulnerable to ozone exposure. Keeping those populations in check is a foundational part of oral wellness — and lower bacterial load generally means less inflammation, healthier gum tissue, and a cleaner environment for your whole mouth.
